This is due to the addition of the MIT license being treated as a separate license from the freetype license. In the modified tool, licenses are separated by license type. The additional freetype licenses seems more logically related to freetype licenses so it follows the freetype & GPL license. Then, other licenses (such as MIT in this case) follow afterwards.

This can be manually modified to maintain the old order but I believed it made more sense this way in the tool since "variants" of the primary license (freetype) would follow the primary license.
