rebase -i -p was never intended to reorder commits. In fact, the "-i" of it was only for convenience: I was more familiar with the code base of rebase -i than that of rebase.

Having said that, I worked for some time on fixing this issue, and I actually run a version of rebase -i -p here that allows reordering commits, but it is far from stable (and due to GSoC and day-job obligations, I had no time to work on it in months).

Ciao, Dscho
