sorting docker-compose file

[lzinga]

I am setting up a workspace that will eventually generate my full docker-compose.yml files. I got yq to merge files properly but am wondering if there is a way to sort based on the keys in a specific order.

For example - have the keys sort first by version, then services and put networks and volumes at the bottom in a manner that compose files typically look like. Right now I am using this command to merge the files yq ea '. as $item ireduce ({}; . * $item )' myfiles -I4

yq will keep the keys in the order of the first file given, so you should be able to do something like:

yq ea '. as $item ireduce ({}; . * $item )' template.yml myfiles -I4

where template.yml is:

version:
services:
networks:
volumes:
