.net - Style guide / optimal way to layout web.config & app.config for ongoing support -


config files have grown complex have suggested their own programming language. if take analogy further, make sense have consistencies when editing file.

i going limit question wcf, sensitive smallest configuration change, think other sections (web.config) benefit structure well.

given vs2010 handle indentation of file, other standards applicable when updating config file? ideas came :

  • sort <config sections> alphabetically
  • the name identifier within <config sections/> should pushed left

alternatively

  • group identifiers , config sections similar function

i'm guessing guidance may vary between specialties (web vs wcf vs identity model) i'd appreciate hearing own perspective.

i (until forces opposite) sort alphabetically (sections, nodes, subnodes), except sections' declaration, have going first.
