Sorry for being unclear.  The user needed to *overcome* the sorting behavior so that they could produce an ordering of their own choosing.  The problem then became that we had to work out a way to defeat the sorting to allow the requested attribute ordering to be preserved.

Roughly:

   casefile = Element('casefile', clearance="confidential",
              access="internal", valid_through="31 Mar 2022")

The desired result is that the attribute order be preserved.  By removing the sort, a user can specify an order they want and have that specification honored.
