When I do "semanage fcontext -l" I don't get an ordered listing (so this
does not appear to be correct in that case), but yes, this is correct
for the file_contexts file. 

It would be ideal to make the algorithm do a proper sort based on strict
regular expression subsets, but this is non-trivial and these heuristics
work pretty well.
