Is there any interest in an optional mode for pg_dump to order the
output so that it's easier to use diff?

I don't think it would make the output 100% deterministic, but it would
make it easier to at least compare the data for small databases.

I think this has been brought up before, but I couldn't find the thread,
so I don't know what conclusion was reached.

Regards,
Jeff Davis
