It isn't that it's mostly ordered with a few exceptions, to me it
looks entirely random. I don't mind moving the one I'm adding but, I'm
not sure it gives much value given that.

Would folks object to just adding a second commit to this which sorts
the file? Since this file isn't changed frequently, I would say the
risk of annoying conflicts is pretty low.
