I guess that's where I see it differently. Card sorting is a tool for 
grouping, not ordering. I'd argue that some have been using a grouping 
tool for ordering, which is not what it's meant to do. That's where the 
IA comes in. The IA takes the groupings from the card sort and creates 
the order that is reflected in a sitemap.

In theory, theory and practice are the same,
but in practice, they're not.
