Description

When make-messages.py enumerates the files it will extract translatable strings from, filesystem enumeration peculiarities cause changes in the layout of th final .po file being created/updated. In the case of the Django translations this difficult reviewing and makes translator-submitted patches bigger than should be.

The patch just makes it .sort() the list of files to process before.

(In [6445]) Fixed #5491 -- Changed PO file generation to sort the filenames we scan prior
to passing them to gettext. This should help reduce the changes in line
orderings caused by different translators using different operating systems and
locales. Based on a patch from Ramiro Morales.
