There was a problem hiding this comment.
At first pass this looks good; it may be worth citing the spec source URL in a code comment, as well. Thank you for your contribution!
Fix CVSS4 vectors generated by this module to follow the ordering from the specifications[1]. Before this change all vectors with Threat and Environmental metrics would be invalid and rejected by other CVSS tools[2].

@superbuggy I've added comments to the constants4 module and clean_vector function to point out the significance of the field ordering. |

This is related to #66 but does not add input validation because the doc strings explicitly mention that fields may be out of order. I've updated the ordering of the other metrics lists in sync with the specification too.
