I guess the more basis question is one of canonical order. Functions (like Times) that are attributed with Orderless reorder their arguments according to some form of canonicalisation. In my case I have a data-type where I have a different idea of the canonical than mathmatica has and I was wondering how to influence mathematica in deciding when things are canonical. Is this possible?
