More info:

The old behavior was the new files alphabetically, followed by the changed 
files alphabetically.

The new behavior is everything in somewhat random order.

My preference would be that the new and changed files are merged into a single 
sort (if I get to vote), but the old behavior would be a lot better than random.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------
mtn diff, or mtn diff filea fileb filec

Expected result:
----------------
Both the header of the diff and the diff sections should be in alphabetical 
order by filename.

Actual results:
---------------
Header (listing the files) is in alphabetical order but the diff sections seem 
to be in random order. This makes it difficult to review diffs across a whole 
project.

Pretty sure this changed somewhere between 0.44 and 0.48 (i.e. 0.44 was 
alphabetical, but 0.48 wasn't)

Output of `mtn version --full`:
