[Feature]: Consistent list outputs

[rgustafson-ie]

1. Your usage scenarios?

Using version 0.5.2. Running commands that list output, such as vfox list or vfox current, and trying to visually interpret the output. Currently the ordering appears to randomly vary.

2. What is your expected outcome?

To ease comprehension, the output should be consistently ordered (e.g. alphabetical) for the subcommand, and ideally consistent across subcommands.

For example, two runs of vfox current:

vfox current
java -> N/A 
maven -> N/A 
nodejs -> N/A 
python -> N/A 

vfox current
python -> N/A 
java -> N/A 
maven -> N/A 
nodejs -> N/A

We can sort them in alphabetical order.

Hello, I am very interested in this issue and would like to claim it for resolution. Could you please assign it to me?

@mchgood Hi, I'm glad you're interested in solving it. I've assigned it to you.

Will this also fix the random reordering that occurs in .tool-versions when rebuilding a devcontainer? The versions don't change, just for example if I have elixir and erlang installed, sometimes erlang will be on top, sometimes elixir. I can create a separate issue if this isn't related.

I think this issue has already been fixed

@ccavolt You caught me! I noticed this, but I thought it wasn't a frequent operation, so I didn't mention it. Haha.

@mchgood It's not resolved yet. The code related to this functionality is here.

vfox/cmd/commands/install.go

Lines 200 to 221 in 2d15fc8

	func notInstalled(manager *internal.Manager) (plugins []string, sdks map[string]string, err error) {
	tvs, err := toolset.NewMultiToolVersions([]string{
	manager.PathMeta.WorkingDirectory,
	manager.PathMeta.CurTmpPath,
	manager.PathMeta.HomePath,
	})
	if err != nil {
	return
	}
	sdks = tvs.FilterTools(func(name, version string) bool {
	lookupSdk, err := manager.LookupSdk(name)
	if err != nil {
	plugins = append(plugins, name)
	return true
	}
	if !lookupSdk.CheckExists(internal.Version(version)) {
	return true
	}
	return false
	})
	return
	}

No. The problem should be here, the FileRecord is use map to record something which lead to random sorting.

vfox/internal/toolset/file_record.go

Lines 28 to 32 in 2d15fc8

	type FileRecord struct {
	Record map[string]string
	Path string
	isInitEmpty bool
	}
