The dictsort just sorts them and doesn't really change much.
It sounds like you have a list of sysctl names and each sysctl name has a
lot of settings under it.
You could consider flattening everything to one list, and also maybe using
the "when" operator to filter which to apply.
If you had a hash of lists and wanted to apply the sysctls in multiple
hashes, that might require a filter plugin.
