Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is frustrating that the Typescript-angular plugin sorts the fields in the generated classes seemingly randomly from call to call, because this leads to changes in the version management of all generated files and makes the history very confusing or even unusable. sortModelPropertiesByRequiredFlag and sortParamsByRequiredFlag are of limited help here.

Describe the solution you'd like

There should be a parameter "sortFieldsAlphabetically" which is used to sort the fields in the classes alphabetically.

Research direction

Start at the Typescript-angular plugin's configuration and generated class field-ordering entry point. Add the requested sortFieldsAlphabetically option so generated class fields are alphabetized, then verify that generated output is stable across repeated runs.
