I went with sorting the routes in place just before we started generating a given namespace.
I would've preferred to have a stronger guarantee that routes are always sorted by doing an insort in the add_route method https://github.com/dropbox/stone/blob/83da417f780b40750b2fd6cdb9697e395cc1dd40/stone/ir/api.py#L128, but since this is even further upstream there's a barrier there.
Also just to call out there's an existing attempt to sort routes as they're added here https://github.com/dropbox/stone/blob/83da417f780b40750b2fd6cdb9697e395cc1dd40/stone/frontend/ir_generator.py#L1709 but it looks to not be sufficient.
