Account for attributes where order matters in default ordering rules about xamlstyler HOT 6 OPEN

Just to add to this, if you've defined a style and you attempt to override any properties from the style, you have to ensure you add those properties after the style attribute, otherwise it won't work.
<BoxView VerticalOptions="Start" Style="{StaticResource StyleBoxViewHorizontalSeperator}" />
versus
<BoxView Style="{StaticResource StyleBoxViewHorizontalSeperator}" VerticalOptions="Start" />

I fixed it for our project by adjusting the XamlStyler options and adding Style after Key

Key, x:Key, Uid, x:Uid
Style
Name, x:Name, Title

Probably a good idea. I have the ItemsSource one in my projects as well. No sense in having everyone discover this issue and add their own custom rules for themselves. Are there any other common Attributes that should be considered?

is ItemsSource and SelectedItem necessary? default behavior is sorting by alphabet so it seems that they should end up in this order?

Hmm, good point. I think there was a bug in the past where wildcards did not work as expected. I imagine I should be able to remove the ItemsSource line from my config. I know that there are cases that ordering is significant, though. Perhaps we should use this issue to collect a list of them?

from xamlstyler.

yes, definitely

It would be great to be able to account for attributes where order matters, but we also want to make sure we are comprehensive. We need to investigate the definitive list of attributes that are affected as well as check to ensure there are not any special considerations for Xamarin.
