Sorting by name does not guarantee primary alignment sorts before secondary and supplementary #2010

Description

@micans

Apologies for missing data - this was already confirmed by @jkbonfield .

samtools sort -n sorts on name. Its secondary sort does not guarantee that within-group (the same read with multiple alignments) the primary alignment sorts before secondary and supplementary alignments. This affects stream processing as the primary alignment has the read sequence.
