VB6: Internal error during Pass2

Very occasionally something will change in one of my VB projects (yes I still use VB) and it will stop compiling and display an error similar to this:

Unexpected error occurred in code generator or linker.

I don’t know what causes this but I do know a simple fix, just re-order the file references. What I do is open the VBP file in a text editor and then sort the Class, Form, Module and UserControl values in to alphabetical order.
