Comment 12 for bug 1045464

Having some semantic order in attributes is definitely useful. Actually I just implemented that for Scour (landed in version 0.35), see [1] for some details and thoughts I had on it.

I'm skeptical if it justifies a (user-visible) option in Inkscape (most people probably don't care). Hardcoding an order for the most common attributes (as I ended up doing in Scour) might be worth a thought, though.

Or you could just use Scour. ;-)
