Simplify quirk
For polynomials of the Nth order, say a 3rd order: y := x + x^3 + x^2, the expected decreasing order expression is displayed when simplify(y)= x^3 + x^2 + x is applied (unless you have increasing checked in the CAS settings). Things change the moment a second symbolic variable factor is included in the polynomial, say y := a*x + x^3+ x^2, you get: simplify(y) := a*x + x^3 + x^2, which, i think, is counter intuitive. Increasing order seems to work as expected when minimum simplify is chosen in CAS settings.
