Please note that tla itself is not ambiguous about the sort order, see
all commands with ordered output like 'abrowse', 'branches', 'versions'.
These don't have a transpose option.

I think the real solution is to use micro-branches to indicate the order.
But since currently there is no really any such possibility, and many use
branches as micro-branches, I added [transpose] and [untranspose] links
in the views linked above.
