bug#29175: 26.0.90; Nitpicking issue with flymake-show-diagnostics-buffer

[Lele Gaifax]

I'm resending this as a bug instead of a post to emacs-devel.

I notice that the entries in the the diagnostics buffer may be in random
order, not sure if that is because the way flymake--overlays collects the
issues, or something else.

The easiest way to fix the problem is to set `tabulated-list-sort-key' in the
`flymake-diagnostics-buffer-mode' definition, although that may still suffer
of not sorting the entries by (line, col): does tabulated-mode support
multi-column ordering?

Maybe a better way would be explicitly sort the result of
`flymake--diagnostics-buffer-entries', possibly there is some trick in the
cl-loop macro?

Or something else?

Thanks&bye, lele.

I think this is the preferred option, which I just commited in
b28de574112991bfd2234989d080e54f565a549c.

Thanks,
