Just a thought. It would be nice to have access to the creation order of objects. This data must be there somewhere, since the explorer is using it for sorting. Then we could assume the first partition created is the default.

That's the thing, in 6.x it's not alway at the same index under 
NestedObjects anymore. A real pain! I don't even know if it's still 
possible to find them.
