[Suggestion] remove sortpom

Overview of the issue

For those trying to stick to the maven release scheme, the sortpom breaks the build order when reordering plugins. Since it is executed in the verify step, it will be performed and persisted in SCM during the release:prepare phase.

Motivation for or Use Case

I am trying to stick to the Maven build cycle so i can use its versioning system.

Reproduce the error

compare the plugin call order between ./mvnw -Pprod clean package and [ ./mvnw -Pprod release:prepare &&] ./mvnw -Pprod release:perform

Related issues

None i could find

Suggest a Fix

Remove or reconfigure sortpom plugin?
