35846	Reproducibility of staticfiles manifests	Linus Heckemann	Matthew Stell	"Paths in staticfiles manifests appear in a nondeterministic order in the resulting JSON file. I assume this would often reflect the order in which files are listed by the operating system, given dict's insertion order preservation, but there are probably many more factors affecting this.

This can sometimes (but may not always -- this depends heavily on filesystem behaviour) be reproduced by running collectstatic in projects using ManifestStaticFilesStorage across different copies of the project source.

Sorting them would result in more comparable results, smaller diffs and (depending on the environment) more efficient deployments."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.staticfiles	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
