How much risk are we looking at?  Wouldn't it be more prudent to just
ensure the sorting is performed before performing the track clean
operation?  I would rather avoid creating any new issues this close to
v5.  If we cannot avoid making the change, then we may just have to deal
with it but I would rather that be the last option.

I thought the sorting was always performed so that segments and vias
would always be grouped by their net.  I'm not sure how a board file was
created with an ungrouped segment.  @JP, care to comment on this?
