Bug Description
When exporting files from Launchpad translations, obsolete strings present in the file seem to be moved to the top, i.e. they appear before the actually translatable strings.
With obsolete strings I am referring to those "commented out" with #~, as in the following example:
#~ msgid "Application Launcher..."
#~ msgstr "Llançador d'aplicació..."
Not only that changes the original, but it can also be confusing for users with not much experience with the .po file format. Furthermore, it makes it difficult to compare the downloaded file with its upstream version in the cases where it has to be synchronised manually in Launchpad, especially when there is a considerable number of obsolete strings.

We've got some more important bugs to look into resulting from our big DB schema refactoring we landed last month. We will be looking into this one after we're done with that, and I'll confirm it once I indeed confirm it :)
