I have seen a number of times this happening, because the list isn't in alphabetical order people aren't able to easily read if an #include ... is already there or not.
And so one header file is included multiple times. Because git diff only shows few lines above and below a change, even people can't catch it in reviews. That's why they must always be in alphabetical order.
