Option to sort Custom Application XML
While this can be done with VSC custom plugins for SFDX, I think it would be really beneficial if Gearset offered the ability to sort Custom App XML in comparisons in order to see what's actually changing between a source and target for lightning page activations. Due to the way SFDC generates this XML, the way page activations are ordered is very difficult to follow, and I think it's an opportunity to make that easier especially for declarative config users of Salesforce.

Does the feature released in November 2021 to hide re-ordering differences resolves this feature request?
See documentation for this at

This same logic also applies for some other areas, i.e. picklist values (mostly). There are a number of places where you can "ignore reordering". It would be nice if that were a global option on the comparison page similar to how the "ignore whitespace" options work in most VCS

Scrolling around to see if it just moved around in the xml is very tedious. It can lead to missing the real changes. Or not seeing a deletion that you didn't intend.
