Barton, I'm not sure what you mean here. It appears the interesting
bit in the code shown in the bug report is
(if (symbolp x) (setq x (or (get x 'reversealias) x)))
which, when pasted into the current version of mactex, seems
to have the right result.

(%i7) ordergreat (f, u, b, a, r);
(%o7)                         done
(%i8) f+u+b+a+r;
(%o8)                   f + u + b + a + r
(%i9) tex (%);
$$f+u+b+a+r$$
(%o9)                         false

What did you have in mind when you wrote above that the
fix no longer works?
