By ordering the symbol according to their definition order in the code, the disassembling can be significantly improved.
Using their own, well defined symbols, the disassemblers and debuggers can group the symbol file. From that grouping, the type of a symbol can be identified (e.g. constant vs. variable). Also in bankswitched code (e.g. Atari 2600), the disassembler will know to which bank a label belongs.
