you have already the elongation from the sun in the ephemerides. But one can
only sort them by integer value. It would be nice if the sorting could be changed:
first from 0 - 180 deg evening and then 180 - 0 deg morning. In the moment
evening and morning elongations are mixed up. For me as a (mainly) comet
observer this behaviour is not ideal.

Clear skies
