I am not convinced tooling for sorting inputs is worth here.  I mean
sorting the inputs (if there are not) or keeping sorted the inputs list
is so quick and easy compared to other parts of the packaging that
sorting is more a discipline than a concrete issue, similarly as two
spaces for the description’s sentences.  IMHO.

However, “guix lint” could warn when the inputs are not sorted.

And it remembers me this bug report:
