Personally I prefer to list the regulator-name as the first property, I
think it makes it visually easier/quicker to identify a regulator with
the name prop at top.

I typically try to use the following prop ordering for regulators on
board DTs I submit (and review):

- regulator-name as the first prop (to quickly identify the regulator)
- regulator-min-* before regulator-max-* (natural order)
- regulator-* in alphabetical/natural order

Maybe this preference just comes from a long history of always putting
id/primary key/unique identifiers at top or beginning of data tables,
classes, structs etc ;-)

Jonas
