Keep sorting of subtasks outside main task

I've got a task with the subtasks
A
B

that are sorted in that order. The subtasks have exactly the same values in terms of prio, due date, etc. The only difference being that task title and that B was created before A was.

I've got a custom search where these subtasks show up. The search is set to sort by Importance, Due date and Priority.

In the search results the tasks appear as
B
A

I guess they are sorted like that because of the creation date. Wouldn't it be better if sorted subtasks kept that order outside the parent task, when all other values are equal? So that the subtasks would appear as
A
B

when there is no other sorting rule affecting them?

If two tasks share the same values for all three sort criteria, then their order may not be consistent. In most cases we add a secret 4th sort criteria which is the creation date, but there are some cases where we havent done this yet (We will in the next major update).
