Attribute ordering in REXML

ruby-talk
1

Hi all!

We are using REXML to modify XML files in our project, and we experience that the attributes of all tags are always reordered. For XML files that are checked into source control, this generates unnecessary noise.

Is there a way to either keep the ordering of the tag attributes intact or choose to have a predictable ordering like alphanumerical ordering?

All help is appreciated and links are gladly accepted :slight_smile:
