Weekend fun: MANIFEST sorting

I wonder if something like this should be somewhere in the Makefile:

sort_MANIFEST:
	sort -fc MANIFEST || (echo "WARNING: re-sorting MANIFEST"; \
		LC_ALL=C sort -fo MANIFEST MANIFEST)

??

% grep MANIFEST Changes* | grep sort
Changes:             Re-sort MANIFEST (LC_ALL=C sort -fo MANIFEST MANIFEST)
Changes:        Log: Re-sort MANIFEST (LC_ALL=C sort -fo MANIFEST MANIFEST)
Changes5.004:    sorted MANIFEST file, I would imagine (I haven't checked).
Changes5.8:        ! MANIFEST lib/sort.pm lib/sort.t pp_sort.c scope.c
Changes5.8:        ! MANIFEST pp_sort.c t/win32/system.t utf8.c wince/Makefile.ce
Changes5.8:        Log: Re-sort MANIFEST.
Changes5.8:             re-sort MANIFEST.
Changes5.8:        Log: Add test for Pod::LaTeX; re-sort MANIFEST.
Changes5.8:             Resort MANIFEST with sort -f, looks much better.
Changes5.8:        Log: Resort MANIFEST.
Changes5.8:        Log: I keep forgetting to sort MANIFEST.
Changes5.8:        Log: Add Switch 2.01, resort MANIFEST (forgot that in #9117)
