If ModelDB.xml is updated by different people (using bin/neuronvisio-modeldb-updater) the result may differ.
This is due to non-deterministic of the ordering of Python's dictionary.keys() used to insert new items, as well as due to lack of support of DOM in ordering the items in some way.
The ordering of items should be based on model date or id, and hence always consistent across people.
