You and xorxes have mentioned ?rule of ordering?. But
with the construction like {lo ka mi penmi ce'u ca ma
kau} you construct time of event (parameter which is
used for ordering). So may be it is better to speak
not about rule but about parameter which is used for
ordering? If it is the case, I do not understand why I
cannot use {lo tcika be lo nu mi penmi ra} as the
ordering parameter.
