Description

The test method org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.utils.TestMetaStoreServerUtils.testGetPartitionspecsGroupedBySDonePartitionCombined creates a List<PartitionSpec> that was order-unstable under NonDex (https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/NonDex); sorting it ensures that the partitions are in a known order while preserving the intent of the test.
