Yes, it just a small unrelated cosmetic change.  I don't think the order
matters much - it just makes my eyes a bit more comfortable. :)

IOW, I changed it since _add_branch_entry() and _add_mem_entry() do it
slightly different order.  So I decided to clean it up and putting
nr_events at first looked reasonable to me.
