Dunno, the instances I can think of where order may change, I figure I'd be
changing them with Javascript (like if the table is naturally sorted by
price and someone inputs a new price, the table may rearrange) rather than
CSS, esp since they're (smartly) not releasing grid yet to prevent the
disaster-of-specs flexbox was...

So mostly just remembering that a form-in-a-data-table can be a thing, and
so then I suppose someone with that situation may want/need to go further,
even if I can't see where I'd do it.
