Description

For large infoboxes this can result in dirty diffs. It is particularly confusing when the parameters are all on one line.

This was a conscious decision. I think this is acceptable in that over time, transclusions get normalized to reflect templatedata order over time. Trying to prevent dirty diffs here is a bit more complexity than seems necessary. Unless there is a clear need for this, I am going to let this be.

Agreed.

Dear Phabricator, please don't do that.

For the record, on frwiki : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Le_Bistro/10_juin_2017#L.27.C3.A9diteur_visuel_d.C3.A9sorganise_les_chimiebox

@Framawiki Looking at paramOrder

The ones being moved to the bottom are not defined parameters, so those seemingly should follow (or be dropped altogether?).

| C = 16

| H = 32

|O=2

| mobilitEelectronique = 

|Xi

|R36

|S26

and mobilitEelectronique has the wrong capitalization, it should be mobiliteElectronique, but maybe the comparison should be lowercased.
