Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

pydoc-markdown v4.8.2 discovers the modules using docspec_python.discover(path), which returns them in non-deterministic order. This order propagates through the processors and the renderer all the way to the Markdown output.

Describe the solution you'd like

Sort the modules and the packages at loading time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• An alternative would be to do the sorting at rendering time. Drawback: it has to be implemented for each renderer.
• If there is interest, we could support configuring the sorting strategy (e.g. case insensitive, number-aware).
