.cff entries are ordered by order of addition, not using a standard order #861

Description

@JaroCamphuijsen

When generating the .cff file through the web app, the fields (at least the author sub-fields) are sorted by the order of addition. That means if I first add institution, and then the family name, I will get the author fields ordered in that way on my generated .cff file as well.

authors:
  - given-names: Someone
    affiliation: Awesome University
    family-names: Smith
    email: someone.smith@awesome-u.nl

  - given-names: Jaro
    family-names: Camphuijsen

Instead it would be more desirable to have a standard order of these fields, because having various authors with different sub-field ordering makes the file unnecessarily chaotic.
