             Summary: PPTX SAX extractor iterates slides in "lexographic 
relationship id" order instead "presentation" order
                 Key: TIKA-5017
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-5017
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
            Reporter: Ken Reese
         Attachments: libreoffice-twelve-slides.pptx

This seems like a regression in behavior between the how the old PPTX DOM 
extractor worked and how the newer PPTX SAX extractor works.

The current PPTX SAX extractor is iterating slides in lexographic order of 
their relationship id instead of actual presentation order. This doesn't always 
make sense - you can have `rId10` show up before `rId4` for example.

Tika is currently just using POI to iterate `ppt/_rels/presentation.xml.rels` 
and returning the slides in whichever order POI returns in - which is just 
using the relationship id as a key in a `TreeMap`. So we really shouldn't be 
relying on the POI iteration order to give us the actual slide order back here.

I think we should instead be looking at `ppt/presentation.xml` to get the slide 
ordering, which is how Tika used to work when it used the DOM extractor by 
default. As of 4.0.0, the DOM extractor implementation has been completely 
remove  from Tika, so there is no longer an easy workaround.
