Sort error in Misc/ACKS

There is a sorting error: The name Jonas Wagner comes before Zachary Ware and Barry Warsaw. Please correct sorting error so that his name appears between Sjoerd de Vries and Niki W. Waibel.

Maybe it's time to give up on trying to sort by last name, and just sort by first character? No, this is not a bold attempt to jump higher up in the list. -AAAAAABarry

Hey, I'm far enough down the list already... More seriously, we do specify "rough alphabetical order[ing]"; there's no need to point out this kind of thing. (Although it might be worth it to change that to "no particular order" so that adding someone is as simple as `echo "Some Human" >> Misc/ACKS`. We could always run random.shuffle() on the current list so new additions don't look out of place ;) -- Zach

Wouldn't that bloat the repository with diffs and make merges more difficult?
