Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 I'm totally failing to find this ticket. But `WP_Query` has an issue where
 doing an order by by a non-unique field results in posts being returned in
 an unpredictable order. That means, as a user paginates over the query,
 they may end up not seeing all posts and instead see duplicates depending
 on how MySQL decides to order posts with the same `mime_type`.

 So we may not want to ship this as a feature until that issue is resolved.
