Hi,

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,
