Optional sort

[MaksOta]

Hey,

great tool!

I know sorting was requested and introduced a while back and i would like to express my opinion on why it should be optional

If you are using version tracking for your project and keep track of translation files then if multiple team members add translations, the keys are potentially inserted somewhere in the middle of the list. And after merge and rebase you can get some conflicts that look really scary to resolve. If the translations are in the order of creation then they are always added at the bottom of the file and it looks much nicer when you have to resolve these conflicts.

Thanks

Hey!

Are you referring to a situation where these multiple team members would add new translations to POEditor? Because in this case, when you get merge conflicts you can just run the tool with poe2arb poe again and you'll have the most fresh ARB from POEditor, free of conflicts.

If you're referring to editing the ARB files by hand, are you using poe2arb seed for uploading these new translations then? That wasn't originally intended to be the purpose of this command, but I'd be happy to learn how others use this tool, so if do that, please describe your process :)

As for the solution, of course, you could try and ask other devs to also add translations following the alphabetical order to ARBs. But I understand that's not ideal.

This is true yes.

So since i dont have a really good argument anymore how about because i like it more if new terms are added to the end :)

I dont really know how much of your time this takes. Its not a biggie. But if you find the time, maybe consider it?
I would create a PR but i never worked with GO. Maybe its time to start?

thanks
