Wiki Appears to be out of Order

[jrg94]

I was just checking the wiki after a slew of changes thanks to Hacktoberfest, and I noticed the table is not alphabetized. We'll have to dig into this: https://github.com/TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs/wiki/Alphabetical-Language-Catalog.

Alright, I used the compare revision tool, and naturally we've found our culprit: https://github.com/TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs/wiki/Alphabetical-Language-Catalog/_compare/65450648b0b41cd9ac1b3efecfb22f9b684dd59d...6a03d6279da11c9658853f8869156cbb4958a0f8

I believe the change lines up with a set of merges that happened this morning around 11AM:

• Merge Commit
• Travis CI Build

Unfortunately, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

I have a feeling the issue is related to the following line:

https://github.com/TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs-wiki-generator/blob/9a1089d95b8ec7d4ec23592c9881de48b2973de1/generate_wiki/generate_wiki.py#L133

Here, we assume the list of folders is alphabetical. That seemed to be a safe bet for awhile, but I guess that's not valid anymore. I'm not sure why, but it may be worth sorting this list to ensure proper order.

I think we can solve this issue using a basic sort:

sorted_list = sorted(unsorted_list, key=lambda s: s.casefold())

I chose this because of it's case folding which should fix any issues if case comes up. I know all the folders are lowercase but who knows what's happening to scramble everything. Just going to play it safe.
