Sort enum values, please

[Tomek Sowiñski]

Quick one: could the compiler enforce that enum values in order of appearance are sorted?

It could neatly guarantee no surprises with case ranges, like this one:

enum Weird { One=1, Two=4, Three=3 }

Now, case Weird.One: .. case Weird.Three: won't match Weird.Two.

I'd agree that you don't see enums like Weird often. Then again, why rely on a coding convention? This guarantee looks cheap to implement.

Any reason against?
