xlsx-populate: File populated by xlsx-populate can not open with Excel

I have a template xlsm file and I use this library to populate some data. However, my template file cannot open with Excel after xlsx-populate edited. Excel prompts: After clicking “Yes”, all cell format are lost, and Excel prompts “Removed Part: /xl/styles.xml part with XML error. (Styles) Load error. Line 1, column 0.” According to my resarch, this is due to wrong handing for paticular cell style by xlsx-populate. When setting a cell style to horizontal center, xlsx-populate will append <alignment horizontal="center"/> after original cell style <protection locked="0"/>, look like this:

<xf numFmtId="0" fontId="8" fillId="5" borderId="1" xfId="0" applyFill="1" applyProtection="1" applyFont="1" applyBorder="1">
	<protection locked="0"/>
	<alignment horizontal="center"/>
</xf>

But unfortunately, it seems Excel expects all cell format property are located before <protection locked="0"/>. If switch their positions like this:

<xf numFmtId="0" fontId="8" fillId="5" borderId="1" xfId="0" applyFill="1" applyProtection="1" applyFont="1" applyBorder="1">
	<alignment horizontal="center"/>
	<protection locked="0"/>
</xf>

Excel can open this file normally then.

Thank you for your contribution, your work has helped me a lot, also hope that this library can be made better.
