farm_update does not revert views with reordered fields

Problem/Motivation

I've ran into an issue where the farm_update module does not revert a view when the only thing that has changed is the order of the view's fields.

This is caused by the config_update.config_diff service which normalizes config and sorts by array keys alphabetically when comparing two config items. Because the views field order is determined by the order of the field keys (there is no weight), if the only thing that changes is the field order, then the view config is not considered updated, and farm_update does not revert the config.

Normalize source: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/config_update/-/blob/8.x-1.x/src/Conf...

This behavior can also be observed in the Config Update UI, for views at /admin/config/development/configuration/report/type/view

However, as noted in ConfigDiffer::same:

It is up to the particular implementing
* class to decide what normalizing means.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable views_ui and modify the order of fields in the farm_log view.
2. Confirm that the field order changed at /logs.
3. Clear caches.
4. Observe that the views field order remains the same and was not reverted.

Proposed resolution

Not sure if there is an easy solution to this. Maybe we could normalize view config in a different way ourselves? But are there other types of config that would common suffer from the same issue?
