[TypesScript] Models are sorted incorrectly in output

[gbrown-ce]

Description

When generating the client, the model classes in the resulting api.ts file are sorted alphabetically. In many cases this is fine and doesn't matter. The problem comes in when you are using inheritance. In TypeScript you cannot put an inherited class before its parent. If for instance you have a parent "Section" and a child "ButtonSection", this will cause the Typescript compilation to fail since the child comes before the parent alphabetically.

Command line used for generation

docker run -d --rm -v $WORKSPACE:/input:ro -v $WORKSPACE/output:/output openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate -i /input/swagger.yaml -g typescript-node -o /output

Steps to reproduce

Run the above command on reference file

Suggest a fix/enhancement

The CodeGen needs to sort models based on their inheritance tree before outputting. Another solution could be breaking the output out into multiple different files instead of one massive file.
