[Template-haskell] RE: Declaration reordering

deSugar/DsMeta.lhs, line 156 or thereabouts, is where a declaration
bracket gets turned into data structure.  Instead of=20
	return (val_ds ++ catMaybes tycl_ds ++ inst_ds)

you want
	return (sortByLoc (...the same thing...))

where sortByLoc does the sorting by source location. =20

Have fun!  Actually it should be really easy.
