[Bug]: aws_quicksight_folder permissions always change with multiple blocks

[as-cyrill]

Terraform Core Version

1.9.0

AWS Provider Version

5.62.0

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_quicksight_folder

Expected Behavior

No change

Actual Behavior

When multiple permissions blocks are defined in aws_quicksight_folder, the order is inconsistent, causing changes to be detected every time.

      ~ permissions {
          ~ principal = "arn:aws:quicksight:XXX:XXX:user/default/userA" -> "arn:aws:quicksight:XXX:XXX:user/default/userB"
            # (1 unchanged attribute hidden)
        }
      ~ permissions {
          ~ principal = "arn:aws:quicksight:XXX:XXX:user/default/userB" -> "arn:aws:quicksight:XXX:XXX:user/default/userA"
            # (1 unchanged attribute hidden)
        }

I have the same issue on my side

I have the same issue.
I noticed that the groups/permissions are to be ordered by the ids of the groups, despite it does not appear anywhere in the code nor the state.
Our Quiciksight is using Okta groups synchronised with AWS Identity Center.
I had to order the group list by okta id in terraform to have a consistent code.
This could be a palliative, while waiting for a fix, and I hope it may help to find a solution.
