Why do ChangeSets sort?

I would consider separating the installation into several change sets
all stuck in a SAR. You can then load them in the proper order,
and/or have conditional loading based on Squeak versions.
Is SAR available for Squeak 3.0?
(Documentation problem: my network connection is down again.
IT services are getting ready for the beginning of semester, and
this seems to make my off-campus Web access disappear from time to time.)
Having a whole bunch of change-sets just to get things done in the order
I did them seems a little, no, extremely unfriendly of Squeak.

I'd stick this in a preamble or postscript, generally, or in a
separate change set for that specific version.
Details, please. I know what preambles and postscripts are and how to
create them, but WHAT do I stick in there? What MAY I stick in there?
If Squeak can't remember what order I did things in, letting me
explicitly tie the changes into some sort of order and remembering
_that_ might be a good idea.
