Although it seems it is not a hard rule, mostly the COMPLETE_WITH are
coded using alphabetical order. Anyway, I think that was a clear
intention here too since 13 of 14 parameters were already in
alphabetical order; it is actually only that "disable_on_error"
parameter that was misplaced; not the new "origin" parameter.

Also, in practice, on <tab> those completions will get output in
alphabetical order, so IMO it makes more sense for the code to be
consistent with the output:

e.g.
test_sub=# create subscription sub xxx connection '' publication pub WITH (
BINARY DISABLE_ON_ERROR STREAMING
CONNECT ENABLED SYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT
COPY_DATA ORIGIN TWO_PHASE
CREATE_SLOT SLOT_NAME
test_sub=#
