Fix: Keep packages sorted

[localheinz]

Description

By configuring the sort-packages option in composer.json

• requiring or
• removing

a dependency will automatically trigger sorting of the packages in the corresponding

• require
• require-dev

sections.

Of course, as an alternative to configuring this in composer.json, the --sort-packages flag can be used manually.

Keeping these packages sorted has the following advantages:

• it's easier to scan a list for items when it is sorted
• due to the nature of sorting, the more important platform requirements will rise to the top

Since there is no command for adding or removing items to or from the replace section, I sorted those manually using the Lines Sorter plugin for PhpStorm.

💁‍♂️ For reference, see

• https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#require

Here's what I ran after adding this section to trigger sorting packages (without updating any dependencies):

$ composer require composer/composer:1.4.1
$ composer require --dev squizlabs/php_codesniffer:3.0.1

Here's what I did after sorting packages in this section using https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/5919-lines-sorter:

• ran composer validate
• fixed the trailing comma issue
• ran composer update --lock

• https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#update

There's quite a bunch of composer.json checked in, should the change be applied to all of them?

[dmanners]

@localheinz if you feel up for it then you could update all the composer.json files that are checked in.

[dmanners]

Thanks for the update @localheinz could you take a moment to look into the conflict on the file app/code/Magento/Backend/composer.json for me. Thank you.

A couple of syntax errors, but other than that it looks good.

Thank you for catching these, @dmanners!

Changes look good. Will see what the builds say and let you know.

Looks good. I am going to run this through our internal systems.
