A new tool is needed to reorder content in IXML files based on predefined sorting criteria. At a minimum, this tool should support alphabetical (A–Z) and numeric sorting (lowest to highest), but additional options should be included too decided by the team. The user should be able to pick which property in the IXML file is used for sorting and whether the sorted file replaces the original or is saved separately. This feature makes it easier to analyze and compare different aspects of the city or verify that content aligns with desired ordering conventions.
Example tool run:
<city>
<buildable id="bbb111" name="ZetaHouse" type="garden">
<position x="0" y="0" z="0"/>
<size x="9" y="9" z="9"/>
<attributes>
<attribute name="flower-ratio" value="0.3"/>
</attributes>
<children/>
</buildable>
<buildable id="aaa222" name="AlphaTower" type="floor">
