Netlify CMS moves around the frontmatter

[lsolesen]

Describe the bug

I put my frontmatter in a particular order in my config.yml - https://github.com/motionsplan/motionsplan-dk-jekyll/blob/master/admin/config.yml

However, after saving with the Netlify CMS it puts the frontmatter in another order, than specified in the the config.yml file.

This is an example after saving with the Netlify CMS where last_modified_at and permalink went to the top of the frontmatter instead of the title.

Any chance to avoid this?

We are sorting the keys here https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/blob/6561939d42c518d90f90d5e181eb5f74dbab6bb8/packages/netlify-cms-core/src/formats/helpers.js#L2 so maybe there's a bug in that code.

@lsolesen How can I reproduce that? so I have a better experience debugging.

@lsolesen : In the Markdown file created, I saw that the fields permalink and last_modified_at are below title field. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

If I edit using the editor then it moves around --> https://github.com/motionsplan/motionsplan-dk-jekyll/pull/88/files
