bpo-36302: Sort list of sources (GH-12341)
When building packages (e.g. for openSUSE Linux) (random) filesystem order of input files influences ordering of functions in the output .so files. Thus without the patch, builds (in disposable VMs) would usually differ. Without this patch, all callers have to be patched individually ofalk/libdnet#42 sass/libsass-python#212 tahoe-lafs/pycryptopp#41 yt-project/yt#2206 pyproj4/pyproj#142 pytries/datrie#49 Roche/pyreadstat#37 but that is an infinite effort. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters.
