If you're talking about handgun calibers......I think its irrelevent...

I don't sort handgun cases by head stamp.../ I check them for condition or cracks after I clean them ....but nothing else. Every box of handgum ammo I reload ...is a mix-match of head stamps.
----------
The only time I would sort rifle calibers ...is for something like a bolt action rifle ...and for rounds that I intended to hunt with. I wouldn't sort anything for an AR ...or for just routine practice where "tactical accuracy" was fine.

"Bulls Eye" accuracy is different ...for "match ammo" so I would sort by head stamp in that case.
