Are you planning to do some practical experimentation with this? I
feel like it would be a good idea to set up some kind of a test case
where this is expected to provide a benefit and see if it actually
does; and also maybe set up a test case where it will reorder the
tables but with no practical difference in the outcome expected and
verify that, in fact, nothing changes.
