It's mentioned in "SORTING REMINDERS", though.

My original thought was that timed reminders should come first
to group together things you have to do at a certain time, followed
by "all-day" reminders that are less likely to require action.

The -g option to remind lets you change the sort order of individual
fields, but doesn't let you change the order in which the fields
are considered.  I can look at making it more flexible for a future release.
