When the "components" section of a Swagger document is placed before the "paths", the rendering of schemas with $ref fails to display as shown below:

1. "components" placed before "paths":
   
   bug.json-buggy
2. "paths" placed before "components":
   
   bug.json-correct-order

This was tested with SwaggerUI version 5.11.2.

In the 3scale product, we can just ensure that the order of the elements is correct when processing the document.

I'm also posting this bug report to the SwaggerUI team to fix in their product. https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/9681

Dev Notes: We use SwaggerUI 3.52.
