ordering drafts

I have some idea of what posts should be published in what order (either
for dependency purposes, or because I just want to get it out there), so
I have some drafts in the drafts folder with arbitrary but
deliberately-ordered dates, without "Status: draft" so that I can see
how it will look published. (But the grand AGP-is-real-guys post will
retain "Status: draft" because it's going to take a long time to get
that one right and I don't want it hovering at the top of my
development.)
