I suspect it will be trivial to someone who knows the codebase where the config 
is loaded (either that or impossible for some obscure reason ☺ ). Learning it 
and then making the change is considerably more work, which unfortunately I 
don’t have time for.

It’s not a demand, just would be nice if someone stuck it on the list to look 
at at some point.  Not sure why it is so difficult to make a suggestion/report 
a bug on this project?

source control.
Using source control that supports xml diff would be a lot more complex than it 
appears at face value because it would need to understand the meaning to decide 
what is a change.

Indeed it's annoying, seen it myself multiple times. Never had a pressing 
reason to investigate though (hardly gets the "most pressing issue" label).


Is there any good reason why this file is being changed? It seems like it would 
be a trivial bugfix to leave the order and the file alone when it is not 
actually being changed?

No idea, but if you say the fix is trivial, why don't you give it a crack and 
make a pull request? :-)
