Another example of why this makes no sense to me ...

Suppose you have the following 3 packets
Frame #  Abs Time  Delta Time
1        0         0
2        2         2
3        3         1

Now what happens if you sort on Delta Time instead of Frame #?  Currently, you
get the following, which makes perfect sense to me (notice the correctly sorted
delta times):
Frame #  Abs Time  Delta Time
1        0         0
3        3         1
2        2         2

If instead we recalculated delta times based on the new sort, we would get
this:
Frame #  Abs Time  Delta Time
1        0         0
3        3         3
2        2         -1

But then the delta times themselves would not be sorted, which doesn't make any
sense to me since that's the column that the packets were supposed to be sorted
on.
