xgettext and related tools have a -s/--sort-output option, which results in the output being lexicographically sorted. The gettext maintainers recommend against using this option and even started deprecating it in some of their tools (xgettext included):
- with -s, source strings are lexicographically sorted in the .pot/.po files
- without -s, source string are output in the same order they are found in the code
- this way, translators have to do much fewer context switches when contributing translations
note that the qml part we have already *not* been sorting
