Blessed modifier order does not include sealed/non-sealed

I assume the order for `sealed` and `non-sealed` has effectively been decided by JLS: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se21/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.1.1

    8.1.1. Class Modifiers
    ...
    
    ClassModifier:
    (one of)
    Annotation public protected private
    abstract static final sealed non-sealed strictfp
    
    ...

    If two or more (distinct) class modifiers appear in a class declaration, then it is customary, though not required, that they appear in the order consistent with that shown above in the production for ClassModifier.


Shall I just create a PR?

I also note that we already have cases in OpenJDK where those keywords are ordered differently. If we have a consensus on how to extend the "blessed order" onto those new keywords, I can create a PR to update the script.
