Package Scripts Order

[reggi]

In my "scripts" I am seeing this order:

    "test": "jest",
    "posttest": "npm run lint",
    "test:update": "jest -u"

Why isn't this alphabetical?

Hey @reggi thanks for the issue.

post* and pre* scripts have specific meaning for package.json - posttest in this case will run after test automatically. Because of this, it felt more intuitive to sort these not by alphabetical order, but to specifically order pre* scripts before * and post* scripts after *.

I'll close this because I think we're doing the right thing here. If you want to discuss it more we can, and I can always re-open the issue.

For future reference, this behavior has changed slightly in #49: now, the "pre" and "post" prefixes will only be treated specially if they're not followed by a - character (e.g. pre-foo won't be sorted at the start, while prefoo will).
