[issue24465] Make tarfile have deterministic sorting

[Sam Thursfield]

Sam Thursfield added the comment:

Here's a patch which does the same thing but only for shutil.make_archive().

Note that the final output will still be non-deterministic if you use format=gztar because time.time() and the base_name argument get added to the gzip header. Might be nice to add an option to make that deterministic too, as a separate thing. This patch is useful to me as-is though.
