Wow. That's really funny. :) If I were to think of a reason (other than "sheer perversity"), it sounds like the sort of ordering you would come up with if you've never thought very hard about ordering (or if you have only had to sort things that didn't have some sort of constant index): I'll sort it by the thing I'm thinking about when I think of the book. Now, maybe this is actually useful for kids looking for books: "Where are the discworld books?" "Under D, for Discworld". But only if *they* know what the system is.
