I see the advantage of sorting by relevancy, but I am a bit afraid of going 
that way because:
- It changes the way rows are sorted in the model
- It is more complicated to get right
- From a user point of view, it means new items will get inserted between 
existing items. Thus existing items will move, making them much more difficult 
to target with the mouse
- A proxy model can be set up to sort the current model by relevancy. If other 
uses of the model require a different sorting, it feels suboptimal to sort by 
relevancy only to have another proxy model sort the items using another criteria
