OK. I don't think there is much difference from the compiler perspective
(because of the equivalence of enums and ints in C), but it gives a clue
to the reader about how the value is meant to be interpreted.

Not new in your patch, but the way this function uses modulo is
interesting:

  a_type_sort = a_type % 4;
  b_type_sort = b_type % 4;

What happens if we got OBJ_BAD as one of the results? We are not
indexing any arrays here, so I guess the worst case is that we sort
things in a weird way (and presumably we'd barf later when trying to
show the output anyway).

Also not new in your patch, but that comment sure is misleading. :)
