I'm fine with either way, but ordering is a good thing to have in long
term prospective.
Easy to find what headers are in there, easy to understand if you need
another one or not, easy to maintain the list w/o duplications.

I saw already few examples where long list of headers contained
duplications b/c it was in messy order.
