Output the dependencies in a consistent and natural order
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MDEP-107
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-107
             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-5
            Reporter: William Ferguson
            Assignee: Brian Fox


As of 2.0-alpha-5-SNAPSHOT 31-AUG-2007 the dependencies when output are in 
random order as I suspect they come straight form a Set.

This makes it really difficult for a human to parse the dependencies.
Ordering them using the natural artifact order before output would be a great 
improvement.

In particular dependency:tree is very hard to read when they are not ordered.
But if each level were ordered using the natural artifact ordering it would be 
much easier to read and to work out where the dep problems lay.
