Why do you want them sorted? FYI, traits are stored in a HashMap which are guaranteed to have inconsistent iteration order for this reason.

Why do you want them sorted?

I want to compare file content on two nominally identical servers to ensure that they are in fact identical. To do that a present is a multi-step visual process. Out of 160 plugins I test, the only content that isn't identical on server shutdown/restart is Citizens/saves.yml.

I understand that a HashMap can be sorted for output by converting to a TreeMap. If you are willing to accept a PR, I can pay my programmer to make it so, or I can contribute equivalent support to Citizens if you want to do it yourself. I appreciate that this is a relatively small thing that you might be unwilling to accept.

Why not just make a script to compare yaml files? Should be trivial.

I have done, for 10 years now. The script would be even more trivial if the lists were sorted. Thus the request.

I don't think I can sort every single key in the saves.yml file, so better to update your script sorry

If we post a PR to sort the three keys that we referenced above, will you accept it?

No
