PASSAGE 2 (first paragraph)

Some people have suggested the word "sequencing" as an appropriate name for an ordering process; but this word often seems to lack the right connotation, especially when equal elements are present, and it occasionally conflicts with other terminology. It is quite true that "sorting" is itself an overused word ("He was sort of out of sorts after sorting that sort of data."), but it has become firmly established in computing parlance. Therefore, we shall use the word "sorting" chiefly in the strict sense of "sorting into order," without further apologies.

Q20. What does the underlined word "chiefly" in the first paragraph mean?
