QOL: sort JSON on metrics/find API endpoint

[GuillaumeConnan]

This quality of life PR aims to sort the JSON returned by the metrics/find API endpoint, as the original Graphite-Web API.

The sort algorithm uses the Text field of each SeriesTree item.

Thus, the metrics tree appears alphabetically sorted on frontends like Grafana while exploring metrics or editing visualizations.

The sort algorithm uses the Text field of each SeriesTree item.

why?

I notice the graphite-web code (find_view in metrics/views.py) uses this:

def json_nodes(nodes):
  nodes_info = []

  for node in nodes:
    info = dict(path=node.path, is_leaf=node.is_leaf)
    if node.is_leaf:
      info['intervals'] = [{'start': i.start, 'end': i.end} for i in node.intervals]

    nodes_info.append(info)

  return sorted(nodes_info, key=lambda item: item['path'])

[Dieterbe]

ah i see. FindTreejson sets the Text property to the node.Path field, so that should be equivalent then.
