Research direction

Start by tracing Spotless’s JSON/YAML formatter configuration and the entry point that currently accepts SerializationFeature. Check how Jackson MapperFeature options are handled and identify the relevant tests. Done means SORT_PROPERTIES_ALPHABETICALLY can be enabled through Spotless and its behavior is covered by tests.

Description

enhancement

It'd be nice to format json/yaml files with alphabetically sorted properties for consistency reasons, unfortunately Jackson's SORT_PROPERTIES_ALPHABETICALLY is a MapperFeature so it cannot be enabled through Spotless right now because it only accepts SerializationFeature.
