Hi!

We're trying to use the Sorted Turtle syntax in order to enable several 
people to edit a multilingual vocabulary stored in SVN. We try to set up 
things so that merge conflicts can be avoided whenever possible. 

However, we noticed that language-tagged literals are not always in the 
same order, leading to unnecessarily large patches and potential merging 
problems. 

We started with one Turtle file ("r170") and saved it in Sorted Turtle 
format. Then we did a small edit on the "cat" concept (can be found on line 
86901) and re-saved the file (as "mine").
Instead of a single line difference between the files, we got almost 1500 
differences because many language-tagged literals had changed order. 
Example diff:

--- ysoMerge.ttl.r170   2013-12-17 14:46:06.000000000 +0200
+++ ysoMerge.ttl.mine   2013-12-17 15:48:34.000000000 +0200

Both files are available at

We are using TopBraid Composer Standard Edition 4.3.1v20131101-1317R on 
Ubuntu Linux 12.04 amd64.

Is this a bug in the Sorted Turtle writer or are we just doing it wrong?

Thanks,
Osma Suominen
