You are right, the files have to be sorted by the internal map id.  I
have some complex code that is meant to sort the mdr1 section and all
the related sections but it sometimes or always doesn't actually
work ;)

It would be better to sort the file arguments after the maps are
created but before they are combined into the index.  So I shall have
a go at getting it to work finally.
