My point is that deserving people in the categories that do not yet have peerages (archery, thrown weapons, equestrian, etc.) will have later dates of elevation because they did not have the opportunity to be elevated when they first earned it. Therefore they will always rank behind people who may have earned their elevation more recently, but were elevated earlier because the rank existed. So, for example, a fencer whose distinction was earned in this decade would come before Li Kung Lo, who has been deserving of a peerage for archery since at least the 1990s. It doesn't actually apply in his case because he's also a Laurel but I'm making a point here.

The only way to fix that would be to retcon the date of elevation of people who have been deserving for a long time. I'm not proposing to open THAT can of worms though!
