What? No.

Now you broke the actual kernel build:

In file included from ./include/linux/local_lock.h:5,
from ./include/linux/radix-tree.h:14,
from ./include/linux/idr.h:15,
from lib/idr.c:5:
./include/linux/local_lock_internal.h: In function âlocal_lock_acquireâ:
./include/linux/local_lock_internal.h:41:13: error: âcurrentâ
undeclared (first use in this function)
41 | l->owner = current;
| ^~~~~~~
./include/linux/local_lock_internal.h:41:13: note: each undeclared
identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

How the hell did you not see this, and why did you think it was a good
idea to mess with kernel headers and make them alphabetically ordered?

Headers need to be ordered by _contents_, not by some "sort alphabetically".

Do you sort your bookcases by color and size of the book too?
