That's a subtle point. Desiderativeness is associative with respect to order of affixation whereas most-recently-affixedness is not. I was assuming the goal of the categories was sematic rather than etymological. Both are reasonable if conflicting aims, but since all affixes are not in general associative with respect to order, it makes sense that only most-recently-affixedness is universally useful for all affixes.
