There are XML diff tools. Google "xml diff tool" to find some. I
haven't used any of them on a GnuCash file, but they might work ok. I
used to write XML editing software for a living and know it's possible
to diff XML files in general.
On the other hand I just use a text diff tool on GnuCash files and the
reordering problem hasn't been bad enough to be a serious problem.
