    Description

      Saving a QDomDocument to file sometimes results in its elements' attributes being reordered.

      e.g. the XML attributes in this QString: 

      <root name="fred">
   <element1 c="a" d="b" f="c"/ >
</root>

      get reordered to:

      <root name="fred" >
   <element1 f="c" c="a" d="b" />
</root>

      The following code demonstrates:

      QString xml = "<root name=\"fred\"><element1 c=\"a\" d=\"b\" f=\"c\"/></root>";
         
QDomDocument* domDoc = new QDomDocument;
domDoc->setContent(xml, false);

QFile file("temp.xml");
if(!file.open(QFile::WriteOnly))
   return;
        
QTextStream out(&file);
domDoc->save(out, 3);

      See also Qt bug 5364. The patch looks specific to that problem though.
