    Hello,

    Our team is using SVN for collaboration, and it's pretty streamlined, except for one particular material file.

    The WaterNighttimePro.mat file contents order regularly changes (about 30 times over the last few months). This causes some collaboration angst as SVN asks to commit modification when the team member hasn't modified anything. Short of just SVN-ignoring this file, is there any way to stop the .mat file from reordering itself?

    Here's an example of the .mat material file reordering its contents:



    Bug Case #681187

    Thanks for any ideas.

    We are having the same kind of problem. Let's see if we find a solution or workaround :)

    Any updates on this? Same thing happens with PlasticSCM.

    edit: though I notice it with ~50 of the materials.
