When accessing objects, we first look for them in packs that are linked together in the reverse order of discovery. Since younger packs tend to contain more recent objects, which are more likely to be accessed often, and local packs tend to contain objects more relevant to our specific projects, sort the list of packs before starting to access them. In addition, favoring local packs over the ones borrowed from alternates can be a win when alternates are mounted on network file systems.
