Hi, please note that expect for the header line Aspell does not care about the 
order of the file.  It would be nice if Aspell would sort them, but if you 
want to use it for VCS you are free to sort the list yourself before 
committing.  Both files are simply a header line then a plain word list. 
Simply sort the list and leave the header line alone.

Gives multiple ways to do this.
