Indeed!  Sorry about that, I'm currently building a fixed package.

I guess I missed have missed that when re-sorting all the list fields

Out of curiousity, do you know whether a trailing comma is allowed, like with
dependencies?  It is what I try to default to, for lists with one element per
line, but I erred on the side of caution here, since you mentionned issues
there cause the QA team to be spammed.


Apologies again for the mishap and resulting annoyances.


Best,
