    Thanks for this suggestion and for the many comments and upvotes. I realize that this is a pain point.

    I have a few shorter-term workarounds to summarize as well as some information on the longer roadmap in this update. I know these shorter-term workarounds aren’t perfect (I summarize the pros and cons), but I’m posting them as they may help a few folks.

    Workaround 1) When data changes to static data need to be made, use a “relink the table” pattern
    One can “cleanly rescript” a static data table in SQL Source Control by:

    • Unlinking the static data table
    • Committing
    • Relinking the static data table
    • Committing

    Pro: This works with the GUI and requires no special knowledge or comfort with TSQL. This may help folks with just a few static data tables.
    Con: This requires extra steps and results in extra commits in the history, which I realize can…

    Please please please please fix this!! I'm so tired of simple changes causing merge hell because of pointless row re-ordering!! I'll be bald soon if you don't fix it... Should be a very simple fix. If it was open source, many users could have probably put in a quick fix. It's literally the worst thing about SQL Source Control!

    Should just order by primary key, with no re-ordering based on what change was made. That would be the obvious design choice.

    Just noticed, even Steve Jones (who works for you) has a comment here complaining about it! Come on guys.
