It should be possible to sort entries in a properties file based on the key names. 
 Example:
- File before sort
# example file
bar=3
c=1
# comment for abb
abb=5

- File after sort
# example file
# comment for abb
abb=5
bar=3
c=1

I'm not sure how commented vales should be treated. In the example above I kept the first comment block and moved the comment for abb.
