Sadly, the objects returned from Firestore have a random key order than changes with each export. Therefore it would be great to have a parameter like --sort-keys to have a deterministic output. My use-case for a deterministic output is to check the output for changes.

There are libs to produce a stable output, but this one has no typings.

The objects returned from Firestore have a random key order.
This makes it hard to compare different backup files.
Therefore, the parameter --sortKeys uses a custom and key-sorted stringify function.
