[issue20198] xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree.write attribute sorting

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com> added the comment:

dictionary's insertion order is preserved in 3.6 and above. Hence sorting by lexical order was removed in issue34160 and there is a discussion in the same issue to add an option to provide sorted output.

As part of triaging I propose closing this issue since the changes were made in issue34160.
