Feature Request: It would make reproducible builds easier if the [package].dist-info/RECORD files were sorted in some deterministic way.  For example, building a Docker image twice and comparing the results.

The current ordering seems to be arbitrary, and I didn't find any PEPs that specify one way or the other.

I'm not sure what would need to be updated for this change.  The whole pip/distutils/setuptools ecosystem is a bit murky.
