C# multiple writeattributestring to xml not showing in correct order

            xtw.WriteStartElement("cXML");                               
            xtw.WriteAttributeString("payloadID", payloadidstr);
            xtw.WriteAttributeString("timestamp", utctime());
            xtw.WriteAttributeString("version", "1.2.024");

above code working fine to generate xml attribute. if open xml file in notepad shows the following string which is correct.

cXML payloadID="[email protected]" timestamp="2014-02-14T12:13:39-08:00" version="1.2.024"

but when open xml file in any browser the attribute order is changed showing like this.

cXML version="1.2.024" timestamp="2015-01-15T16:54:48-08:00" payloadID="[email protected]"

Can someone let me know why browser not showing in correct order or how to shows multiple string under one element.

XML does not define ordering of attributes, so there is no "correct" order - compliant reader/writers are free to order the way they pleased.

Per the spec section 3.1:

the order of attribute specifications in a start-tag or empty-element tag is not significant
