Sort metadata files by something other than SHA to prevent file churn when diff-ing. #5

Requirement text might be good? but probably also susceptible to churn. Line number has the same problem.

However I would guess that items will change in the following order of frequency (most to least):

  1. SHA
  2. Requirement Text
  3. Position/Line Number
    • This might be the best, because re-orders and insertions will look similar to the actual changes to the primary file

  1. is what came to my mind when reading the subject.
