It's what distinguishes a list from a bag. If you want a collection with
multiple copies of values but no order, it's called a "bag", in
generally-accepted computer-science-speak. (As opposed to a "set",
which is a "bag" where every value appears at most once.)
Now, if what you mean is that some *specific* order (such as
"alphabetical") is not a basic property, then I'd agree. That seems to
be what you're saying, given that you're following up on sort routines.
