I had to look up "parochial".  Having done so, I believe that Norway
based people would tend to agree :-)

For most people, I guess that doing this the merkin way is good enough
-- it keeps the .com/.net/.org addresses separated from their more
frequent CTLD addresses.

But: What was the reason for not simply doing a sort on reversed
domain?
