By the specification (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-STag) the 
order or attributes is not supposed to be significant, so it unlikely 
that any parser will preserve their order. There is no "correct" order to get.

What is your document that the order of the attributes matters? 
Generally if you need ordering, you use a list of elements.
