What’s a recommended way to compare and find all the differences between two `Manifest.toml` files ?

I have used plain text diff (e.g. as implemented in vscode) and it seems to work fine. But I think the success of this approach relies on both `Manifest.toml` files being sorted in the same way. I’m not sure that sorting order of entries in `Manifest.toml` is guaranteed across Julia versions?
