I do understand the problem that you are trying to solve, and I also
understand that the generated config files do build the kernels in the same
way. The problem is in how the resulting sort works. Particularly in Fedora,
people do look at the config files in dist-git, and having them sorted by the
name of the config option is both logical and easy to understand. The sorting
is not actually required for the build, it is only there to make it easily
readable.
