Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Assigned to: Maarten Coene (maartenc) Summary: BackedList is not implemented completely Initial Comment: The BackedList's set method is not implemented correctly. The org.dom4j.Element#element() method's javadoc says: "The list is backed by the element such that changes to the list will be reflected in the element though the reverse is not the case.". Using the set method on the BackedList, it does not take effect on the element. Trying to use the following code: List elements = element.elements(); Collections.sort(elements, <there is a comparator here>); This code does not take effect on the element.

To sort the List, another algorithm should be used which doesn't require that the list should allow duplicate entries.
