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.
