controlling RDF/XML-ABBREV output

Hi,

I'm using Jena to write out data to file as RDF/XML-ABBREV. I'm using the
prettyTypes property to ensure that my domain objects sit at the top of the
file. This works great. These XML files are eaten both by RDF-aware tools
but also some legacy tooling. The legacy tooling requires xml elements to
arrive sorted in a particular order. At the moment I'm controlling this by
writing them to the Jena model in the reverse order I want them to appear
in the file. However, this is brittle.

Is there some way to control the sorting of things within a block? For
example, by specifying a list of URIs and having Jena emit the XML in that
order.

Thanks,
Matthew
