I used that.  I started to prepare the back-branch versions, but that revealed
three problems affecting the master patch:

(1) Sorting constraints segfaulted if either of a pair of equal-name
constraints was a domain constraint.  Fortunately, commit da71717 added a test
case for that between when I mailed patch v1 and when I went to commit.  One
can reproduce it by dumping a database containing:

  CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int CONSTRAINT dc CHECK (value > 0);
  CREATE DOMAIN d2 AS int CONSTRAINT dc CHECK (value > 0);

I made pg_dump sort domain constraints of a given name before table
constraints of that name, for consistency with our decision to sort CREATE
DOMAIN before CREATE TABLE.  The main alternative was to sort by parent object
name irrespective of parent object type, i.e. DOMAIN a < TABLE b < DOMAIN c.
That alternative lacked a relevant precedent.  I've now audited the natural
keys of catalogs for which I'm changing sort order, and I think that was the
only one I missed.

(2) Sorting opclasses failed a new assertion when dumping a v9.2 source (and
likely 9.[345]), because getAccessMethods() doesn't read pg_am when dumping
from a version predating CREATE ACCESS METHOD.  findAccessMethodByOid() found
no access methods, since pg_dump had read none.  I've changed
getAccessMethods() to always read pg_am.  (For pre-v9.6 sources, I've kept the
function's behavior of never marking an access method for dumping.)  pg_am is
small enough for this read to incur negligible cost.  The main alternative
was, for pre-v9.6, sorting access methods by pg_am.oid.  That would have been
less code, but dump order would have differed between pre-v9.6 and v9.6+.

(3) pgTypeNameCompare() implied postfix operators don't exist, but master
pg_dump will support reading from pre-v14 clusters for several more years.
The code behaved fine, but I've updated the comment.

I regret missing those in v1.  I've attached v2, including branch-specific
patches.  I'll first need to back-patch 350e6b8, which fixed sorting of CREATE
RULE, to v17 and earlier.  Since 350e6b8 is conflict-free all the way back to
v13, I'm not attaching it.

Thanks,

Sort dump objects independent of OIDs, for the 7 holdout object types.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering.  That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing.  The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families.  pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs.  After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption.  While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.

Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage.  Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.

The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb563d35001410dc6daad78b250924038 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it.  However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and
this might avoid other dump comparison failures.  Hence, back-patch to
v13 (all supported versions).

    Sort dump objects independent of OIDs, for the 7 holdout object types.
    
    pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
    tgname), before dependency-driven reordering.  That removes one source
    of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
    In other words, it helps with schema diffing.  The logical name sort
    ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
    ... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
    and operator families.  pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
    yielding spurious schema diffs.  After this change, OIDs affect dump
    order only in the event of catalog corruption.  While pg_dump also
    wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
    have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
    
    Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
    coverage.  Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
    keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
    for the long term.
    
    The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
    172259afb563d35001410dc6daad78b250924038 added a schema diff test
    sensitive to it.  However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and
    this might avoid other dump comparison failures.  Hence, back-patch to
    v13 (all supported versions).

    Sort dump objects independent of OIDs, for the 7 holdout object types.
    
    pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
    tgname), before dependency-driven reordering.  That removes one source
    of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
    In other words, it helps with schema diffing.  The logical name sort
    ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
    ... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
    and operator families.  pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
    yielding spurious schema diffs.  After this change, OIDs affect dump
    order only in the event of catalog corruption.  While pg_dump also
    wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
    have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
    
    Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
    coverage.  Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
    keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
    for the long term.
    
    The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
    172259afb563d35001410dc6daad78b250924038 added a schema diff test
    sensitive to it.  However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and
    this might avoid other dump comparison failures.  Hence, back-patch to
    v13 (all supported versions).

    Sort dump objects independent of OIDs, for the 7 holdout object types.
    
    pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
    tgname), before dependency-driven reordering.  That removes one source
    of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
    In other words, it helps with schema diffing.  The logical name sort
    ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
    ... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
    and operator families.  pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
    yielding spurious schema diffs.  After this change, OIDs affect dump
    order only in the event of catalog corruption.  While pg_dump also
    wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
    have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
    
    Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
    coverage.  Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
    keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
    for the long term.
    
    The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
    172259afb563d35001410dc6daad78b250924038 added a schema diff test
    sensitive to it.  However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and
    this might avoid other dump comparison failures.  Hence, back-patch to
    v13 (all supported versions).

    Sort dump objects independent of OIDs, for the 7 holdout object types.
    
    pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
    tgname), before dependency-driven reordering.  That removes one source
    of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
    In other words, it helps with schema diffing.  The logical name sort
    ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
    ... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
    and operator families.  pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
    yielding spurious schema diffs.  After this change, OIDs affect dump
    order only in the event of catalog corruption.  While pg_dump also
    wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
    have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
    
    Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
    coverage.  Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
    keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
    for the long term.
    
    The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
    172259afb563d35001410dc6daad78b250924038 added a schema diff test
    sensitive to it.  However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and
    this might avoid other dump comparison failures.  Hence, back-patch to
    v13 (all supported versions).
