I'd love to have a deterministic sorting algorithm that alphabetizes while also keeping acronyms grouped with terms.

For example:

ATO: ...

Authority to operate: ... # term belonging to ATO

Authority: ... # no acronym, AU comes after AT (but normal sorting would have this and the above switched)

POP: ...

Period of performance: ... # terms belonging to POP, alpha-sorted

Procurement Operating Procedure: ...

Step 1: Just sort the keys (sort while downcased to avoid capitalization comparison weirdness)
Step 2: Use the more advanced algo

YAML outputs strings in folded format, and I can't find a way to output folded strings. This may be a lot more effort than it's worth.
