Result indicator order in d-portal is incorrect

[andreaszenasidi]

Handicap International Federation is trying to understand why their Result Output indicator shows up in the wrong order in d-portal, even though in the IATI Registry XML file it's ordered correctly.

D-portal activity: http://www.d-portal.org/ctrack.html?reporting_ref=FR-RCS-519655997#view=act&aid=FR-RCS-519655997-20200103 Registry XML file: https://aidstream.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/xml/hi_fed-activities.xml Example of wrong order: Output 1.1 - Access to resources, infrastructures and livelihoods is improved should appear before Output 1.2 - Risk of EO related death and injury is reduced

Everything in SAVi (single activity view) gets sorted by something.

In this case, the results are primarily sorted by @type so they could be grouped together, then by the data content which in this case would have been a narrative in the indicators (indicator comes before title alphabetically, and that being the first difference).

I've added a forced sort on title/narrative so that fixes this issue and makes sense but generally the order that the data is published in is not going to change how things are displayed in SAVi.

We've also sorted </indicator/title/narrative> so the order of that will follow alphabetically.

It would be good to have some IATI guidance on how to use and visualise results data, specifically in the subject of ordering and grouping elements within elements, as result data can often be rather spaghetti in its nature and d-portal tries very hard to make sense of it.

@notshi @xriss thanks both for looking into this and making the change! In terms of IATI guidance on ordering and grouping Results, we don't currently have one but it's definitely something to consider for the future!
