Why do you say reorder since trait composition is not ordered?

Ok I'm really curious to see how our model is applied there and if it
scales well and how much benefit we get. I'm biased because I believe
in traits :) but your experience has a big value for me so please keep
doing and let me know when I can have fun with it and when you have
some data to compare
your current model to the previous situation.
