(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately didn't get any
response at the time.)
I think that would be surprising behaviour. Currently the sorting
commands are "stable": That is, if you first reverse-sort by buffer
name, and then by size, all the buffers with identical size are then
reversed-sort by buffer name.
The proposed change would make that feature go missing, so I don't think
this would be a good change, and I'm closing this bug report.
