Anything else you would like to add?
It's a little inconvenient to read the available subcommands returned by an error (e.g. specifying a command without required arguments) when they are not sorted. It would be a better user experience if these were sorted like they are when using --help.
I'm sure this is likely an artifact of clap, but if it's something that we can help then I think it would be nice (albeit low priority) to do so.
