TOP module ordering

Maybe someone knows why TOP seems to have been chosen as the only module ordering to use in free resolutions of ideals and modules. I would have though the default that makes most sense as a mathematical default would have been POT, but I would rather use a signature-based ordering in the ideal case, which means each new map in the free resolution has a slightly different ordering based on the names (signatures) of the module generators. (As an aside, I am not a fan of minimizing here, just as I am not a fan of minimizing as done in normal.lib, since it is not really mathematically driven, only minimization-driven.)
