Summary:

Property list editor keys are not sorted.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Open a .plist file with Xcode 4.3.2.
2) Try to sort the items (by clicking on the "Key" header.)

Expected Results:

Items sorted by key.

Actual Results:

Nothing changes.

Regression:

Property List Editor had the appropriate behavior: it always sorted the items in the file by key. If I really want to know the order of the keys in the file I can open the damn file as XML or whatever and look at it.

Notes:

It's the little things that drive us crazy.
