Following up on my comment in Bug #41333 <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41333#c4>, we should have VCSUtils::fixChangeLogPatch() optionally print a warning when a new change log entry is inserted earlier in the change log file.  Alternatively, given an optional flag, we may want to forcefully move such an entry to the top of the change log file.

It seems rare that someone would want to land a patch with a change log entry located earlier in the change log file either by hand or by the commit-queue.
