I clean installed Android Studio, currently running Build #AI-213.7172.25.2113.9014738, built on August 31, 2022. Inside layout XMLs When hitting CTRL ALT L to format, or also when having the format-option checked in the commit-prompt before committing my changes to git, the IDE will reorder the View elements in my XMLs.

Since the order of View elements determines which View is drawn on top of the others, this causes issues. How do i disable this behaviour? I looked at the CodeStyle settings for XMLs but couldn't find any settings for this specific behaviour.

Under Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> XML there is the option "Set from..." on the top right corner. If that isn't set to "Android", this could be the problem.
