Paths in staticfiles manifests appear in a nondeterministic order in the
resulting JSON file. I assume this would often reflect the order in which
files are listed by the operating system, given dict's insertion order
preservation, but there are probably many more factors affecting this.
This can sometimes (but may not always -- this depends heavily on
filesystem behaviour) be reproduced by running collectstatic in projects
using ManifestStaticFilesStorage across different copies of the project
source.
Sorting them would result in more comparable results, smaller diffs and
(depending on the environment) more efficient deployments.
