The assumption was that .dir-locals.el will always be modified
by these commands. But since it's often modified manually
with an arbitrary order, this means that the sorting order
is not important. So we could simply remove the sorting code.
PS: This is not directly related to your current patch that I believe
is ready to be installed if no one will have more comments.
