Sounds good.

Categories, member-groups and images (and blocklist) may appear in any order. 

Within these elements, the order of sub-elements is usually non-random. E.g. 
the order of <image> tags within <images> denotes the order in which images 
are shown in the browser. Sorting this by date is a good idea for most users.


Btw: maybe documentation/database-layout.md is of interest to you?
