Agree.
In case you want to satisfy your curiosity. I believe this happens in the FormatterTreeWalker::startNode method. I re-implemented this method because of other reasons and as a side effect, now I get the attributes in the original order.

Since the order of attributes is not allowed to be significant in XML,
I suppose the routine is putting them out in a way that is fastest to
execute.
