[BUG] The elements in an array aren't sorted

[cateyes99]

Say I have a JSON doc as below

{
    "productInstanceIds": [
        "dee3265d-2d4a-47d3-d058-306f638391f3",
        "b48af1e0-ba0f-7dd4-ba36-f4810da88b75",
        "fc592fba-c453-e0b6-f2ba-b02a13c1c6de"
    ],
    "path": "22ccef63-5fbf-430c-a1db-6d4f28ff6ecd",
    "id": "22ccef63-5fbf-430c-a1db-6d4f28ff6ecd"
}

After running the command Sort JSON, I expect it results in the below one:

{
    "id": "22ccef63-5fbf-430c-a1db-6d4f28ff6ecd",
    "path": "22ccef63-5fbf-430c-a1db-6d4f28ff6ecd",
    "productInstanceIds": [
        "b48af1e0-ba0f-7dd4-ba36-f4810da88b75",
        "dee3265d-2d4a-47d3-d058-306f638391f3",
        "fc592fba-c453-e0b6-f2ba-b02a13c1c6de"
    ]
}

But the actual resulted one is this:

{
    "id": "22ccef63-5fbf-430c-a1db-6d4f28ff6ecd",
    "path": "22ccef63-5fbf-430c-a1db-6d4f28ff6ecd",
    "productInstanceIds": [
        "dee3265d-2d4a-47d3-d058-306f638391f3",
        "b48af1e0-ba0f-7dd4-ba36-f4810da88b75",
        "fc592fba-c453-e0b6-f2ba-b02a13c1c6de"
    ]
}

Note: The array productInstanceIds isn't sorted in the result! But the rest is sorted as expected.

Hi. Yes, this is working as expected. SortJSON aims to make the JSON easier to read, but avoids making data modifications. Changing the order of an array is a data modification.

@richie5um, apparently why I'm interested in sorted JSONs, one most important thing is that I'd like to compare JSONs, so sorting JSONs comes handy. What about offering a flag to include sorting arrays if you don't want it by default?
