This commit enhances the check-MAINTAINERS.py script with additional checks to maintain the new sorting order in the MAINTAINERS file. The changes include sorting names by surname, using regular expressions for field matching to accommodate fields spilling over into the next column, and supporting sorting by multiple fields. These improvements ensure the consistency and correctness of the MAINTAINERS file.
