Comment:

 As Barry points out, shuffling load order is really dangerous and brings
 up edge cases. It shouldn't be done without unit tests...

 Should [42835] be reverted until all edge cases are fixed?

 Also, formatting.php shouldn't be needed for accessing the db. I'd rather
 move `sanitize_key()` or introduce a similar function than load a file
 that is clearly intended for formatting the PHP output while accessing the
 db.
