[issue36962] Cant sort ModuleInfo instances

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

Unfortunately your change isn't backward compatible with the existing (namedtuple) version.

I expect this to fail in the dataclass version:
>>> finder, name, ispkg = list(pkgutil.iter_modules(None))[0]

And since this is an enhancement, it can only go in to 3.8. And the window is closing for that, so it's more likely to be 3.9, if we decide that backward compatibility isn't important here.
