If you never encountered a situation when in the dozens of
environments the databases has diverged because somebody has
done something manually - good for you, you are lucky guy then.

I'm definitely not a lucky guy at all! :-)
And this is happening to me *right now*... My case is a little bit more complicated, but I'll come back to this later on, probably in another thread, in order to avoid confusion.

Last time I had to do this kind of exercise, a few years ago, I was in a remote place without Internet access, so I could not get any information or ask any help. I was kind of surprised/frustrated by the (apparent) lack of order of the pg_dump output. So I manually wrote scripts to export the tables and views' definitions separately, one by one, (using pg_dump, of course) and stack them in the order I wished into a large file. That was quite suboptimal, but it worked as expected, and I was able to diff and patch correctly.

And today, I thought: "time has passed, I'm sure that pg_dump must magically have an option to get the output in some kind of order, by now"... 'man pg_dump' didn't help. And as I can read this discussion (I haven't finished yet, obviously), this is not the case.
