Research direction
Locate the POT-generation entry point and the xgettext invocation that adds the -s option. Remove that sorting behavior, then verify that generated strings retain their source grouping and that the POT generation still completes successfully.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Sorting the POT file makes life harder for localizers. Strings that belong together need to be kept together to preserve context.
