Hi, I've done a modification of the IEEE template to allow custom author order.
My thesis director told me that authors should be ordered by importance, but the template was designed to group authors by affiliations.
I add a affiliation.author field to allow breaking order. This shouldn't break compatibility with articles that uses older format.
This is my first pull request on a public repository, so I would be pleased to receive any comment to improve the process next time.
