Thanks so much for fixing this. Yes, I see that it is much better *not*
to have inline footnotes sorted, since they are, after all, inline. The
great thing is that one can always convert them by using normalize.

By the way, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the elegance of your
solution to footnotes in org-mode. As a historian who uses footnotes all
the time, I've found org-mode's footnote features to be the most
convenient and flexible I've ever used.

Best,
Matt
