Order of paths in exports object shouldn't matter

[bgotink]

The following two exports objects are equivalent for Node, but resolve.exports only works correctly for the first. This can be verified by swapping lines 401 and 402 in test/resolve.js

{
  "./data/*": "./data/*.json",
  "./": "./"
}

{
  "./": "./",
  "./data/*": "./data/*.json"
}

Looking at the ESM resolution algorithm in node's documentation (PACKAGE_IMPORTS_EXPORTS_RESOLVE here), node sorts the keys by key length before looking for a match.

Thanks, missed that. Can't quite get to this right now, but should be very easy to implement.

I hope you don't mind I gave it a go.

Rather than actually sorting as mentioned in the node docs I've chosen to loop through the entire object, as sorting would get slower for larger export objects.

btw I have released pattern-key-compare for resolve.imports, in case you want to use it.
