   Thanks @mxm, the external type-change scenario is a good point: failing the 
job there seems worse than writing with the old schema, and I agree we can’t 
tell old records from re-create requests in the dynamic sink case.
   
   Unless @pvary has a use-case that ordering alone doesn’t cover, I’ll drop 
the skip-filter and keep only the ordering (newest schema first, so the 
re-created field takes precedence). I’ll also add a test asserting the ordering.
   
   One question on ordering: should it be strictly by schema id descending, or 
current schema first and then the rest descending? After a rollback to an older 
schema, the current schema is not necessarily the one with the highest id.
