FCB 3.1.0 changes order of attribute types during FC import #15

The order of simple attributes in the S100_FC_SimpleAttributes part of the FC XML file has changed, apparently to list enumeration attributes first, then numeric attributes. The imported file had them in alphabetical order by attribute name/code.

The file I am working with has only one feature type with three simple attributes, so I have not checked what happens with complex attributes, features and information types.

Importing an existing FC file in edit mode should not change the order of items in the FC. That has many undesirable side-effects, like losing alphabetic ordering in documents and making it more difficult to find items and compare different versions of FCs and documents in the product specification packages.
