It was that way on the Sys/34.  And Before I think.
I know at that time, the days of Input Primary, Input Secondary,
The largest workspaces were created for the first two(I think)
files at the bottom(ie first opens).

On the Sys/38 and AS/400,  The ODP portion of the
Program Access Group(PAG)  were added to and
trimmed from the outside inwards.
So you always put the User Opens at the top of the Fspec
and Least Used there.  Most Used at the bottom.


But we don't have a PAG per se anymore.
