This might be useful because linking has moved symbols around, or because some other linker disassembles symbols in alphabetical order and one wants to compare.  Basically, I found this useful and I thought other people might.  It was much easier to modify llvm-objdump directly than to post-process the disassembly.

As I commented at https://reviews.llvm.org/D75498#1904244 , `some other linker disassembles symbols in alphabetical order` does not match what I have observed with GNU ld, gold and lld. Are you using a different linker or am I missing something?

If the symbol resolution does not change, functions have more of fewer instructions, the order should not change.
