just --dump should provide recipe order

[indigoviolet]

I was hoping to write something that ran the recipes in a justfile in order (lots of individual set up steps to bootstrap a new machine). I can use just --summary --unsorted, but it would be cleaner to use just --dump --dump-format=json and sort by some recipe order info.

The most straightforward way to do this is probably to just add a new recipe that recursively invokes just with the other recipes you need, in the order they should be invoked in. e.g. something like:

install_dependency_a:
    ...

install_dependency_b:
   ...
   
bootstrap:
    @just install_dependency_b
    @just install_dependency_a

This requires a bit of manual setup, but it means you can be explicit about what recipes you run, while still having the freedom to add additional recipes to the justfile that won't interfere with the bootstrap process.
