Description

Currently, the manifest formatter simply orders all fields alphabetically. This should be changed to order them in a similar way to the Cargo style guide. This ordering should also be documented in The Sway Book.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the Cargo style guide link and implement field ordering rules in the manifest formatter of forc fmt. Ensure documentation in The Sway Book is updated.
