# Bug Report
## Problem
### What is expected to happen?
The `<privacy-manifest>` element must be included in the generated
`PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` file, and the order of its properties must be the same.
### What does actually happen?
When running `cordova prepare ios`, the order of properties is messed up and
the mess is exported to the generated `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` file.
## Information
<!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and
reproduce the problem -->
`config.xml`, before running `cordova prepare ios`
```xml
<privacy-manifest>

`config.xml`, after running `cordova prepare ios`
```xml
<privacy-manifest>
<key>NSPrivacyTracking</key>
<key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes</key>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes</key>

<array/>
<array>
<dict>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key>
<string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryDiskSpace</string>
<array>
<string>E174.1</string>
</array>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key>
<string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults</string>
<array>
<string>CA92.1</string>
</array>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key>
<string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp</string>
<array>

<dict>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key>
<key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key>
<string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategorySystemBootTime</string>
<array>
<string>35F9.1</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
<array/>
</privacy-manifest>
```
This is then outputed to the `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` file :
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist
version="1.0"><dict><key>NSPrivacyTracking</key><key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes</key><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes</key><key>NSPrivacyTrackingDomains</key><true
/><array
/><array><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryDiskSpace</string><array><string>E174.1</string></array></dict><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults</string><array><string>CA92.1</string></array></dict><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp</string><array><string>3B52.1</string></array></dict><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategorySystemBootTime</string><array><string>35F9.1</string></array></dict></array><array
/></dict></plist>
```
The correct output (that works well in XCode) is this one :
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>NSPrivacyTracking</key><true
/><key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes</key><array
/><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes</key><array><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryDiskSpace</string><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><array><string>E174.1</string></array></dict><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults</string><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><array><string>CA92.1</string></array></dict><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp</string><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><array><string>3B52.1</string></array></dict><dict><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType</key><string>NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategorySystemBootTime</string><key>NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons</key><array><string>35F9.1</string></array></dict></array><key>NSPrivacyTrackingDomains</key><array
