I have a request ... can we require lists in moz.build files to be in

always annoyed by Makefiles where lists are sometimes unordered and it's
hard to find items and know where to add items.
Fully agree, with the exception that I'm not sure this is a safe
transformation for *DIRS.
Good point. That's fine though, we can just not care about that.
Likewise we can not care about conditional blocks. I would simply say that
if we have a literal array being appended to one of a known set of
order-independent variables (including EXPORTS, CPPSRCS, etc), its elements
should be in sorted order.
That's a fair compromise and should be relatively easy to implement.
I've filed bug 863069.
