Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2025-03-13 16:11:05 UTC 
One of the findings from when the gentoo-ci repo got too big:
Since the output.xml is unsorted, it is much harder for delta compression to work, and comparing diffs, esp. for base -> PR is much harder.

Find a way to sort, preserving any whitespace esp. newlines inside the <result> elements.

Ideal sort order:

- result
- category, starting with category=""
- package
- class
- version

Notice that version is AFTER class, because multiple versions tend to share the same error
