Thanks for your patch.

The Buildroot policy in terms of sorting options in Config.in is
rather "alphabetic ordering" and not "whatever order is used in the
upstream meson_options.txt or configure.ac".

Note that it is very possible that alphabetic ordering is already
broken, in which case it would be totally OK to fix. But we will
prefer to keep alphabetic ordering vs. meson_options.txt
ordering. This is most notably to have a consistent policy between all
our packages.

Best regards,

Thomas
