MusicXML barline element validation error

If you export XML from the attached MuseScore file it produces an invalid barline definition at line 13334:
<barline location="left">
<bar-style>heavy-light</bar-style>
<repeat direction="forward"/>
<ending number="2" type="start"/>
</barline>

instead of:

<barline location="left">
<bar-style>heavy-light</bar-style>
<ending number="2" type="start"/>
<repeat direction="forward"/>
</barline>

i.e. The repeat element should come after the ending element.

I apologise if this seems nit picking, but SeeScore uses a validating parser built from the musicxml schema, and with any validation error such as this the file cannot be loaded!

When I export in 2.1-dev 3523f8f, for measure 67, I get

ending number="2" type="start"/
repeat direction="forward"/

Which seems to be correct order. It seems this has been fixed in 2.1, but maybe try a nightly 2.1 (https://musescore.org/en/download#Nightly-versions) and verify

(For information purposes, I looked up specs https://usermanuals.musicxml.com/MusicXML/Content/CT-MusicXML-barline.h… which say ending and repeat are in a sequence in that order.)

Yes, you are quite correct this is fixed in the latest nightly build
Sorry I should have checked - I didn't realise it's so easy to install a dev build
Thank you
James
