When using `core.library.search()` is it possible to configure/control the order of each backend’s `models.SearchResult` in the returned list?

Where does the default order come from?

[https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/433](https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/433) covers one possible solution for this. The current order is likely whatever order `pkg_resources` gave us the extensions in.
