        - for file in $(files_in_patch_ordered $patch)
        + for file in $(files_in_patch_ordered $patch | sort)

This defeats the whole point of the files_in_patch_ordered function, which is 
to keep files in the order in which they already are in the patch. We can add 
new files in sort order when doing the refresh though. Okay?

While checking your patch I noticed that the diff command was accidentally 
sorting files as well.

The syntax is fine.
