It's been bugging me for a while that the JVM Args list in the Solr Admin UI is sorted, not shown in the actual order the arguments appear on the command that started Solr.

With the list of arguments sorted by the UI, you can't tell what the actual order is.  If you look at a process listing, the order can be seen, but the admin UI is often the first thing people look at.  I think the admin UI should reflect the true argument order, not sort the list.

If there were a really large number of arguments, scanning an unsorted list to find something specific might become difficult, but I don't think a typical install has so many arguments that this is a practical problem.  Maybe there could be an checkbox option near the list to sort it for situations where somebody actually wants to do that?  I don't know enough about UI design to be able to make that happen.

In server/solr-webapp/webapp/js/angular/controllers/index.js is this line:

      $scope.commandLineArgs = data.jvm.jmx.commandLineArgs.sort();

I removed".sort()" from that line on an install of 8.11.0.  On page reload, the list was no longer sorted.

I figured I should ask people what they think before committing that change.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shawn
