When editing the raw files, are ordering, spaces, new lines and tabs significant?

e.g. You have in creature_birds.txt:

[CREATURE:BIRD_BLUEJAY]
   [NAME:blue jay:blue jays:blue jay]
   [TILE:249][COLOR:1:0:1]
   [VERMIN_GROUNDER][FREQUENCY:100]
   [POPULATION_NUMBER:250:500]
   [FLIER]
   [SMALL_REMAINS]
   [SPEED:400]
   [PETVALUE:30][NATURAL][PET]
   [NOT_BUTCHERABLE]
   [PREFSTRING:coloration]
   [DIURNAL]
   [BIOME:GRASSLAND_TEMPERATE]
   [BIOME:SAVANNA_TEMPERATE]
   [BIOME:SHRUBLAND_TEMPERATE]
   [BIOME:FOREST_TEMPERATE_BROADLEAF]
   [BIOME:FOREST_TEMPERATE_CONIFER]
   [STANDARD_FLESH]
   [HOMEOTHERM:10071]
   [LAYERING:100]
   [SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:2500]

[CREATURE:BIRD_CARDINAL]
   [NAME:cardinal:cardinals:cardinal]
   [TILE:249][COLOR:4:0:1]
   [VERMIN_GROUNDER][FREQUENCY:100]
   [POPULATION_NUMBER:250:500]
   [FLIER]
   [SMALL_REMAINS]
   [SPEED:400]
   [PETVALUE:30][NATURAL][PET]
   [NOT_BUTCHERABLE]
   [PREFSTRING:coloration]
   [DIURNAL]
   [BIOME:GRASSLAND_TEMPERATE]
   [BIOME:SAVANNA_TEMPERATE]
   [BIOME:SHRUBLAND_TEMPERATE]
   [BIOME:FOREST_TEMPERATE_BROADLEAF]
   [BIOME:FOREST_TEMPERATE_CONIFER]
   [STANDARD_FLESH]
   [HOMEOTHERM:10071]
   [LAYERING:100]
   [SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:2500]

Will it work if you remove tabs and newlines so the two entries occupy only two lines? Can the order of the tags be changed?

[Teldin]

Yes, spaces and tabs and such don't matter whatsoever, you could put them all on one line if you wanted. However, the creature: header has to come before everything else, obviously.

[Untelligent]

Just for the record, to make a comment, simply put text without the ][ braces. You can even do this within an entry, as far as I know.
