[feature request] serializeToJson(Pretty) with key sorted

[mw66]

Hi,

I think we need add this functionality to easily compare changed json files of different versions, or at least add the option to allow user sort the dict by keys, and save it.

e.g. in Python:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html

>>> print(json.dumps({"c": 0, "b": 0, "a": 0}, sort_keys=True))
{"a": 0, "b": 0, "c": 0}

@9il I saw you are making new releases, how about this feature request?

Unlikely this feature will be added to ASDF. The goal of current releases is to prepare closed source code bases for Mir Ion.

Wow, so v0.6.x will be the last open source package?

For such general purpose library, I don't quite understand why it need to be closed source? As open source library, more people will use it, discover bugs, and even send fix PRs.

Will be at least v0.7.x

Mir Ion is an open-source library. Currently preparing private codebase to migrate from ASDF to Mir Ion.
