This relates to issue S18072.
We've been having a lot of trouble merging Model.DesignedDiffs.xafml in our source code revision control system (subversion), and we need the file to maintain order of the View elements. (Right now, the order of these elements change at random and this confuses the merge process.)
Proposed Solution:
To fix the problem, we added the attached Project to our Solution. There are no doubt many ways to solve this problem - this is our quick fix. Please post this on S18072 as a temporary fix for this problem if you find it suitable.
To use, just add the project to your solution. Update the SOLUTION_NAME variable in Program.cs from "Solution1" to your solution name. Then add this project as a dependency of your <Solution>.Module project. This project will run (and alphabetize the View elements in the .xafml file at the beginning of every build). Then merging the .xafml in a RCS will work as expected.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your suggestion. We and our users appreciate your effort. For now we have duplicated the S18072 suggestion to this ticket.

Hello Michael,
Now, nodes are sorted by their names and key attributes in .xafml files. To sort nodes in the existing *.xafml files, make some changes using the Model Editor and save them.
Thanks, Mary.
