Rule Proposal: sort-keys

[mysticatea]

From validateOrderInObjectKeys.

This rule will enforce the order of object properties by their names.

{
    "sort-keys": [
        "error",
        "asc" or "desc",
        {
            "insensitive": false,
            "natural": false
        }
    ]
}

• "asc" (default) - Requires sorting in ascending order.
• "desc" - Requires sorting in descending order.
• insensitive" (default is false) - If this is true, this rule compares keys in case-insensitive.
• natural" (default is false) - If this is true, this rule compares keys in natural order.

Note that some major libraries (e.g. React's transition group) rely on the de-facto preservation of object property ordering.

@jedwards1211 Of course, those folks don't need to turn on this rule. 😄
