What happened?

Introspection query does not have stable sort order of fields and types

versions

• gqlgen version? 0.13.0

We use the introspection to generate types on the frontend, but because the introspection is unstable, the generated code is also unstable, which creates false merge/rebase conflicts.

Same here. I fixed with custom script.

@frederikhors Any chance you can share said script? This makes the life with gqlgen pretty painful.

@nyergler; here is a plugin we wrote that does it by wrapping each field with middleware and sorts the results if it's an introspection field.

Thanks for the pointer, @duckbrain; I have a PR open to make the ordering stable, but a plugin may wind up being more straight-forward for tracking upstream.
