Many people & maintainers like to have their header files ordered. The
reason for that is:

If they are not ordered, there is a possibility of adding an header file
multiple times in a file. This might not do something serious
when thinking about compilation time or Image size, but adding an header
file multiple times is simply wrong.

This can't be caught in patch reviews most of the time, as diff may not show
the earlier inclusion.

That's why i ordered them. And i don't see any harm in doing so.
