The problem with this patch is it reorders the listing so that lower priority things are after higher priority things.  The entire point of the routine is to list the high priority things first, so that a casual user can read the first line or two and not immediately if there is something they care about.

Now, this property can be preserved simply by concatenating all the .sum files found in a directory into an all.sum file, and then running the script on those two files.  If one does that, then the priority order is preserved.
