Currently, the alphabetize script (https://github.com/github/government.github.com/blob/gh-pages/script/alphabetize) is run manually to clean up the ordering of Organizations in the various data files. (Example: #582). A couple problems with this:

1. Why do work that a robot 🤖 can do?
2. Since this repo is widely maintained, it's impossible to guarantee that these changes won't create pretty annoying conflicts for other PRs.

Getting these to a near automated fashion would be really cool.

I'd held off merging a bunch of open PRs in hopes that I'd get time to work on a solution for this, but alas I have not. So, I figure I'll crowd source this to see if anyone has any ideas or fancy the execution.

Note

I'd love to use probot as the framework for these operations (it's what it was made for), but it's currently a node app and is expecting j/s scripts. Since I try to do as little with YAML as possible 😉 , this task was never exciting enough to get my attention for very long, and why it floundered. It should be pretty easy as js-yaml and basic JS functions should map pretty cleanly.

By opening this issue, this will be a reminder to me to eventually get to it too, so no pressure.
