From 87c56c7c1d4a1af6e6a4dd0c3fdc133608edde88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lauri Nurmi Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2021 23:11:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Do not sort content of generated POT files alphabetically Sorting is discouraged even by the GNU gettext documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/xgettext-Invocation.html#Output-details Alphabetical order means related messages that are close to each other in a source file are likely to be far far away from each other in the .po file that a translator works on.
