I guess being able to only use one version fits most use cases, yet for those 
using a light table (which I don't) both use cases might be true. I could ask 
on the -users list for people doing so and what they would prefer.

In the image editor one can enable a preview pane via the view menu. The 
pictures in that pane are sorted by filename I think. The pane can be arranged 
vertically and horizontally, I use the vertical position. So if you have 
somthing like:

picture a
picture b
picture c

and create a new version of picture a it should be shown after picture a, 
i.e.:

picture a
picture av1
picture b
picture c

instead it is put at the bottom of the list.

picture a
picture b
picture c
picture av1

If you close the image editor and re-open it again, the sorting is correct.
