This is a legacy of the old Auto-report program generator.  RPT would 'sort'
the specs in the right order for you.  So I could have a /COPY member that
had F, I and C specs in it, and the compiler would put them all in the right
place.

Then somebody decided that auto-report was rarely used, but the /COPY
function was popular, so the /COPY function got included in the base RPG
compiler.  But the first versions of that compiler didn't sort the specs
into the right order.  Modern versions do.

The precompiler is apparently using the older logic.  Our comrades in
Toronto are working on the precompiler integration, so perhaps we'll see
some relief soon.
