Sorting of dependency-groups is non-alphabetical

I am adding dependency-groups (see this and this) to my pyproject.toml file and find that the sorting of the groups within the dependency-groups section is non-alphabetical.

Given the following pyproject.toml file:

[project]
name = "example"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.11"
classifiers = [
  "Programming Language :: Python",
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only",
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11",
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
]
dependencies = [  ]

[dependency-groups]
coverage = [ "coverage>=7", { include-group = "test" } ]
dev = [
  { include-group = "lint" },
  { include-group = "test" },
  { include-group = "type" },
]
docs = [ "furo==2024.8.6", "sphinx>=8" ]
lint = [ "flake8>=6.1" ]
sast = [ "bandit>=1.7" ]
test = [ "pytest>=8.2" ]
type = [ "mypy>=1.5" ]

[tool.pyproject-fmt]
max_supported_python = "3.12"

executing pyproject-fmt pyproject.toml converts the pyproject.toml file into:

[project]
name = "example"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.11"
classifiers = [
  "Programming Language :: Python",
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only",
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11",
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
]
dependencies = [  ]

[dependency-groups]
dev = [
  { include-group = "lint" },
  { include-group = "test" },
  { include-group = "type" },
]
test = [ "pytest>=8.2" ]
type = [ "mypy>=1.5" ]

docs = [ "furo==2024.8.6", "sphinx>=8" ]
coverage = [ "coverage>=7", { include-group = "test" } ]
lint = [ "flake8>=6.1" ]
sast = [ "bandit>=1.7" ]

[tool.pyproject-fmt]
max_supported_python = "3.12"

This sorting also introduced a single empty line which breaks up the visual connection of all dependency groups.

I had expected the sorting to be alphabetical by the dependency group name and to not create new spaces.

Is there still ongoing development and maintenance of this project? The last commit that was not a dependency update was nearly 3 months ago.

I'm currently on a holiday, and PyCon US timing caused me to miss this. I'll be back next week and we can talk about it then 👍
