(131/200) 342 - Keep properties file sorted

For versioning purposes (and for correlating option changes with file changes) it would be nice if the properties file was stored in alphabetical order. Now I have to use \`sort -o properties properties\` and remove the comments at the top to track changes.

2011-12-07 22:48:42 kpouer	The properties are saved using Properties.store() from the java api. Are you sure that it is really worth working on that ? To compare properties it is still possible to use the sort lines macro.

Ideally for me it would be nice if I could track changes to the whole settings directory, and have either a .gitignore file or jEdit/tmp folder for transient files. But I would also like to +1 the sort-order request, and also add that it'll be good for color schemes too.
