Considered breaking change because JSON serialization will change, and JSON is used quite often.

Reordering fields without changing their ID is indeed a non-breaking change from what I understand, albeit quite a useless one :)

If you have a (long) list of fields and you want to keep them lexicographically sorted, being able to reorder is quite useful if you rename a field.
