Move keywords at the (very?) bottom, and "module" just after "main"

Why? Because there are a ton more important stuff to be at the top, like main, module, scripts, and all the *dependencies
Expected Behavior / Situation
Best would be the most important fields to be in similar order. Especially in monorepo setups.
engines
main
module
files
scripts
dependencies
devDependencies
peerDependencies
It's insane to need to scroll down in your editor or even in the github ui, to see dependencies and etc.
Actual Behavior / Situation
Not optimal. The keywords field is before all the dependencies fields which forces you to scroll to see the deps. And not only that. It just doesn't make much sense to mess in front of your eyes around your most important things. You put them once (usually when creating the module) and forget about them. Or at least you are not touching them that much as like the most of the other fields.
Modification Proposal
Suggested in "Expected" section.
None of the package.json plugins offer good and MEANINGFUL ordering that make sense.
An opinionated package.json formatter plugin for Prettier

When something is marked as opinionated, it's important to bear that in mind. Always appreciate feedback and suggestions, but this goes against what I feel is the best ordering.

This verbiage is definitely not appreciated. If you can't refrain from using this kind with my personal projects, please refrain from opening new issues.
Sorry, don't take it hard, not meant to offense in anyway.
At least consider the keywords move? That's the most bothering thing. Don't seeing what's the value so unimportant thing to sit at the top?
Unfortunately I'm very happy with the current ordering. It may be unimportant to you, but I don't share that opinion. There are several forks of this where users have modified the ordering, and I'd encourage you to do the same if the ordering is rubbing you the wrong way. I created this package because the others were not performing how I wanted.
