> When exporting to xml (system view, not tested with document view) the order
> of properties is not consistent.
> This is not an issue with the jcr specification, since the order of
> properties is undefined, but keeping the same (whatever) order in xml export
> could be useful.
> At this moment if you try running a few import->export->import->export
> roundtrips you will notice that the exported xml often changes. This is an
> example of the differences you can see:
> <sv:property sv:name="jcr:uuid" sv:type="String">
> <sv:value>59357999-b4fb-45cd-8111-59277caf14b7</sv:value>
> </sv:property>
> + <sv:property sv:name="title" sv:type="String">
> + <sv:value>test</sv:value>
> + </sv:property>
> <sv:property sv:name="visible" sv:type="String">
> <sv:value>true</sv:value>
> </sv:property>
> - <sv:property sv:name="title" sv:type="String">
> - <sv:value>test</sv:value>
> - </sv:property>
> If you may need to diff between two exported files that could be pretty
> annoying, you have no clear way to understand if something has really changed
> or not.
> I would propose to keep ordering consistent between export: an easy way could
> be sorting properties alphabetically during export.
> This behavior has been tested on a recent jackrabbit build from trunk
> (1.4-SNAPSHOT)
