File Info order

Currently, in Clip Properties widget, File Info tab, the order in which the different data obtained from the file is presented in an alphabetical order.
This leads it to be:
1. Harder to read. As information is not following any logical sequence of appearance.
2. Not in a stable location. For each language, the alphabetical order of parameter names will be different, so the info will potentially be all over the place, when users share screenshots in forums. Leading to potential confusion.
(A screenshot is attached, showing as an example, the current differences in location between English and Spanish)

So, I think it could be a good thing to present this information in a more structured an fixed way.
Something similar to the following:

------------------------------------------
File size:		63 MiB
------------------------------------------
Video streams:		1
Frame size:		1920x1080
Pixel aspect ratio:	1.000
Pixel format:		yuv422p10le
Colorspace:		ITU-R BT.709
Frame rate:		25
Scanning:		Progressive
Video codec:		H.264
B frames:		No
Video bitrate:		31000 Kb/s
------------------------------------------
Audio streams: 		4
Audio channels:		2
Audio frequency:	48000 Hz
Audio codec:		PCM signed 16-bit
Audio bitrate:		1536 Kb/s
------------------------------------------

...ok, as always the Preview feature of this text editor is playing games, so forgive some horizontal misalignment of values, here and there `:)

This intended to be in "Whishlist" category. Forgot to check it before sending (and couldn't find a way to change it later), sorry.
