I still have no idea how any sort wouldn't sort that CONFIG_PINCTRL_ST
line first, since even if it's about the following characters, both
')' and '.' would normally sort before any letters at least in ASCII.

So I can only assume it's something that takes  the locale into
account in odd ways, or just has some special rules for non-alpha
sorting.

But I don't find it in myself to care apart from noting the
strangeness of it all.
