ppc map file is unordered

[Jeff Bevis]

The map files generated by ld are usually sorted badly.  Mostly, the
offsets increase as you progress through the file.  However, a large
number of them are not.  This causes a lot of headaches when trying
to find out what is at a particular offset, which I need to do from time
to time.  The linker is powerpc-eabi-ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD
2.9.1).  Here's a partial example:

 .text         
0x00001cac      0x518 obj/cache.o
               
0x00001e30               
CacheDataCtrlSafe
               
0x00001cac               
CacheInit
               
0x00002170               
K_CacheInstFlush
               
0x00002058               
K_CacheDataSyncRange
               
0x00001f28               
CacheInstCtrlSafe
               
0x0000219c               
CacheInstFlushSafe
               
0x00001fb4               
K_CacheDataFlush
               
0x000020bc               
CacheDataSyncRangeSafe
               
0x000020e4               
K_CacheDataFlushRange
               
0x00001d88               
K_CacheInstStat
               
0x00001ecc               
K_CacheInstCtrl
               
0x00001d3c               
K_CacheDataStat
               
0x00002148               
CacheDataFlushRangeSafe
               
0x00002008               
CacheDataFlushSafe
               
0x00001dd4               
K_CacheDataCtrl

Any idea why it lists the offsets out of order?  Is there an
easy fix for this?  Anyone?  Thanks...
