THAT was exactly my experience when I recently put a projectfile on github to be able to easily share the styling of a big set of (national) geopackages [0]: the order of the attributes are totally unpredictable in standard QGIS: without changing anything, resaving a project, you get A LOT of 'edits' in your files.

Apparently this plugin has a solution for it (only looked to the description):
"Orders attributes in .qgs project files in a predictable order. This helps tracking QGIS project files in versioning systems like git."

It would be good to pull this into QGIS in my view, would that be easy?
