Description

### What would you like to happen?

As a Hop user working with **AddXml** transform
I need to set and define the attributes order instead of having a default one (ASC sort based on attributes names)
in order to cover more use-cases and have more flexibility generating data structures to adhere to business rules.

Research direction

Start by locating the AddXml transform implementation and its existing tests, then trace where attributes receive their default ascending-name order. Done means users can define a specific attribute order when generating XML data structures, with the behavior covered by tests.
