Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

Open two articles for editing using the visual editor.
Select a template node with many parameters (e.g., an infobox).
Copy and paste the template to the other article.

For example, the page Katina and the sandbox.

What happens?:
The order of parameters is shuffled (not necessary to save the page, it can be seen in the diff).

What should have happened instead?:
The order of parameters is preserved.

Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc.:
1.39.0-wmf.4

As far as I can tell, VE is sending the template to Parsoid with parameters in a sensible order:

(this is a mess, but you can see that e.g. the numbered "název části" and "část" parameters are in order)

I wonder if it's a Parsoid issue? I'm not sure what the expected behavior actually is. Also, the template has TemplateData documentation, but it doesn't specify "paramOrder" (https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šablona:Infobox_-_ostrov) – I don't know what are the expected consequences of that.
