Create New Order Tool for CDF Files

[R3tes]

A new tool is needed to reorder content in CDF 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 CDF 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 file or verify that content aligns with desired ordering conventions.

Example tool run:

<codebase>
  <element name="ZetaUtility" type="class">
    <properties>
      <property name="Name" type="string" value="ZetaUtility"/>
      <property name="LOC" type="int" value="50"/>
    </properties>
  </element>
  <element name="AlphaHelper" type="class">
    <properties>
      <property name="Name" type="string" value="AlphaHelper"/>
      <property name="LOC" type="int" value="150"/>
    </properties>
  </element>
  <element name="GammaLogic" type="class">
    <properties>
      <property name="Name" type="string" value="GammaLogic"/>
      <property name="LOC" type="int" value="75"/>
    </properties>
  </element>
</codebase>

java -jar OrderCdfTool.jar \
     --input unsorted.xml \
     --property "Name" \
     --sort-type alphabetical \
     --output sortedByName.xml 

<codebase>

    </properties>
  </element>
  <element name="GammaLogic" type="class">
    <properties>
      <property name="Name" type="string" value="GammaLogic"/>
      <property name="LOC" type="int" value="75"/>
    </properties>
  </element>
  <element name="ZetaUtility" type="class">
