I second this! Especially for QA purposes a stable/fixed order would be very beneficial. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27378143/qt-5-produce-random-attribute-order-in-xml may indeed point to a possible solution. I have used the temporary solution Ralf mentioned in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363582#c4 but that is obviously not a good solution for the long run, as it requires too much manual work. Should we change this to a wishlist, or is the fix easy enough to implement that it doesn't matter? Git commit 600af541035959ace4bdd21b74d078764f02516e by Thomas Baumgart. Committed on 20/04/2019 at 05:49. Pushed by tbaumgart into branch '5.0'. Make XML files comparable again Since commit e4d384d34a91eb6024800 (which later made it into v5.0.2), the order of attributes in the XML file is random each time the file is saved. This leads to the fact that it is extremly hard to compare two files because one does not see the forest for the trees. This change removes the randomness and thus brings back comparability.
