There is a feature planned that will give you a diff output between what
Rosetta has and what we got from upstream. I guess that's what you ask
for here.

About message reordering, we don't do a 'random' order, we follow what
the .pot file has, just the same way gettext's msgmerge does. If that's
not true, it's a bug.
