sorting my .dtd and .properties files

[Дамјан Георгиевски]

Is there some tool to sort my .dtd and .properties files the same way
the original en-US files are sorted?

The thing is, after several iterations of using "compare-locales -m" the
items are all over the place, and sometimes I can understand the
context.

and what the hell does
<!ENTITY aboutSupport.show.label "Open Containing Folder">
mean??

I can answer this one:
Download Firefox3.6b2, type about:support at the address bar, hit Enter,
You can see the button labeled "Open Containing Folder".
What this buttons does is to open up Explorer window (Windows) that
contains the profile folder.

"Open Profile Folder" would've been much more clear then, bah

Back in 2005 I asked a friend to code that kind of tool for me. I used
it once then, it worked (99% of the way atleast), but I haven't used it
sense. You can try it out if you like:
ville.lucid.fi/skriptei/mozcombiner.pl

Requires Perl, and it works with directories (original, translated, target).

I bet one could write something on top of silme rather quickly. At this
moment, I'd love folks like I and Gandalf or Stas to focus on firefox
and fennec outreach and coordination. But maybe someone else volunteers?

Feature request: Think about how to persist license headers while you do.

You can use this tool I wrote some years ago (I have been using
it since then).

I works under .NET or mono (shipped with Ubuntu).

However, you'll lose any comments you made to files.
