We thought it was the most intuitive behavior, since if sorted order isn't desired, multiple item(s) will usually be manually ordered into the desired locations.

The first time Sort Siblings is selected, it sorts alphabetically. The 2nd time, it sorts in reverse alphabetic order. It didn't seem intuitive that a 3rd time would "unsort" (which wouldn't have any obvious effect on the order), and it's less work to move the first item down, then up, if that's what you want (initially sorted but not retain sort order when changing item titles).

There is also an option -- Tools | Options | Trees | Alphabetically sort when adding children to new items -- that you may want to uncheck if you generally want unordered lists when importing.
