I obviously cannot tell what is worth of your time. 

However, sorting inputs alphabetically has some value. For example, it
makes it easier to add more inputs later, as it becomes less tedious to
check for duplicates.

What about a basic M-x sort-lines ? Note that you need to be cautious
about the first and last inputs, as opening and closing parens should be
sent to another line there.

If you don't want to special-casing first and last inputs, there's the
more "advanced"

  M-x sort-regexp-fields RET (".+?".*?) RET \& RET

while selecting the full input field (with C-M-SPC).
