Solution 1:

You can define your own task of type Exec and make the assembleRelease task depends on it:

task executeScript(type:Exec) {
    println 'Executing script...'
    commandLine './script.sh'
}

gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    assembleRelease.dependsOn executeScript
}

Solution 2:

You can use ANT tools to build your application and use shell scripts to sort your strings.xml.
