Description
See https://apiview.dev/Assemblies/Review/12891ce7f9e44a1f951073b5077c0e44?diffRevisionId=3ca2143c95a149ebab1cafc7e3d1e4aa&diffOnly=False&revisionId=9dc76060a7d54a39a9191b3b662dcc62&doc=False
For some reason, responses were shown in a different order like so:
This resulted in every endpoint looking modified, which leads to a lot of unnecessary double-checking during REST API reviews.
May be part of the same regression mentioned in #6674 and/or related to #6132.

Research direction
The issue names only an APIView review URL and an image, with no source files or tests. Start by reproducing the review diff and tracing where response models are ordered during comparison. Done means response ordering is stable and unchanged endpoints no longer appear modified.
