title: Internet Explorer displaying XML attributes in random order
body: <p>i am opening an <code>xml</code> file in Internet Explorer (9, Windows 7 64-bit).</p>
  
  <p>Internet Explorer likes to display element attributes in <em>random order</em>, e.g.:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vz231.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>rather than in declared order:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ApplicationVersion major="2" minor="2" release="12" build="687"&gt;2.2.12.687&lt;/ApplicationVersion&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>e.g.:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MY0SL.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Or</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/iN4SR.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>rather than:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5TR3R.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Is there an element, attribute, xml-dtd, xml-schema, Internet Explorer option, Windows option anywhere that will instruct IE to display the XML in declared, rather than random order?</p>
