MooX::ConfigFromFile::Role::SortedByFilename - allows filename based sort algorithm for multiple config

sorted_loaded_config
       This role modifies the builder for sorted_loaded_config by sorting the loaded files from
       raw_loaded_config by filename, extension and location in the filesystem, respectively.

       Let's assume the affected setup has a CLI interface named "oper" with subcommands like "git" provides
       them, too. And the company using the application does it well by defining staging environments like "DEV"
       (Development), "TEST" (Testing), "INT" (Integration) and "PROD" (Production).  For the example, the subcommands shall be "deploy" and "report".

       This will give you possible "config_prefix_map"s of

         # main command
         ['oper']
         ['oper', 'dev']
         ['oper', 'test']
         ['oper', 'int']
         ['oper', 'prod']
         # deploy sub-command
         ['oper', 'deploy']
         ['oper', 'deploy', 'dev']
         ['oper', 'deploy', 'test']
         ['oper', 'deploy', 'int']
         ['oper', 'deploy', 'prod']
         # report sub-command
         ['oper', 'report']
         ['oper', 'report', 'dev']
         ['oper', 'report', 'test']
         ['oper', 'report', 'int']
         ['oper', 'report', 'prod']

       This will result in (let's further assume, developers prefer "JSON", operators prefer "YAML") following
       possible config filenames:

         [
           # main command
           'oper.json',
           'oper.yaml',
           'oper-dev.json',
           'oper-dev.yaml',
           'oper-test.json',
           'oper-test.yaml',
           'oper-int.json',
           'oper-int.yaml',
           'oper-prod.json',
           'oper-prod.yaml',
           # deploy sub-command
           'oper-deploy.json',
           'oper-deploy.yaml',
           'oper-deploy-dev.json',
           'oper-deploy-dev.yaml',
           'oper-deploy-test.json',
           'oper-deploy-test.yaml',
           'oper-deploy-int.json',
           'oper-deploy-int.yaml',
           'oper-deploy-prod.json',
           'oper-deploy-prod.yaml',
           # report sub-command
           'oper-report.json',
           'oper-report.yaml',
           'oper-report-dev.json',
           'oper-report-dev.yaml',
           'oper-report-test.json',
           'oper-report-test.yaml',
           'oper-report-int.json',
           'oper-report-int.yaml',
           'oper-report-prod.json',
           'oper-report-prod.yaml',
         ]

       For a particular invoking ("oper report" in "int" stage) following files exists:

         [
           '/etc/oper.json',                 # global configuration by developers
           '/etc/oper.yaml',                 # global configuration by operating policy
           '/opt/ctrl/etc/oper.json',        # vendor configuration by developers
           '/opt/ctrl/etc/oper.yaml',        # vendor configuration by operating policy
           '/opt/ctrl/etc/oper-int.yaml',    # vendor configuration by stage operating policy
           '/opt/ctrl/etc/oper-report.yaml', # vendor configuration by report operating team
           '/home/usr4711/oper-report.yaml', # usr4711 individual configuration (e.g. for template adoption)
         ]

       The default sort algorithm will deliver

         [
           "/etc/oper.json",
           "/etc/oper.yaml",
           "/home/usr4711/oper-report.yaml",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper-int.yaml",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper-report.yaml",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper.json",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper.yaml"
         ]

       This role will change the sort algorithm to deliver

         [
           "/etc/oper.json",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper.json",
           "/etc/oper.yaml",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper.yaml",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper-int.yaml",
           "/opt/ctrl/etc/oper-report.yaml",
           "/home/usr4711/oper-report.yaml"
         ]

       Which will cause that all policy configuration will override the developer defaults and user
       configuration override policy settings.

       This is an additional role for MooX::ConfigFromFile to allow merging loaded configurations in a more
       predictable order: filename > extension > path.  (Read: When the filename is identical, the extensions
       are compared, when they are identical, the locations are compared).

       While filename and file extension are compared on character basis, the sort order of the file locations
       (path) is based on precedence in MooX::File::ConfigDir or File::ConfigDir, respectively. This order is
       defined internally in @File::ConfigDir::extensible_bases.
