[FROG] FRR vtysh config command ordering

[Quentin Young]

Generally speaking the config is not sorted alphabetically. Perhaps some
small subsections are, but I don't know of any off the top of my head.
However it is the case that config is not output in the same order it is
input. Output is dictated by the order in which the config render functions
output config lines, and there are many such functions.There are no
facilities for enforcing any specific ordering scheme, partially because
the current scheme should always work and not result in the behavior you
described.

If you're seeing a situation like you described with dependent
configuration getting lost, please open an issue on GitHub so we can fix
that. That is a bug independent of the ordering of frr.conf. There are also
misconfigs you could have made to cause the same behavior, so please be
thorough in the bug report.
