Re: [Laszlo-dev] Parsing order of dataset attributes

[Philip Romanik]

(Somebody correct me if I'm wrong) The attributes are in a hash table and 
the order they are processed is browser/platform dependent. It appears as 
though the hash table is built in reverse order in legals compared to OL3 
(and swf iterates on a hash table in a predictable order).

What behavior would you like to see? Is it sufficient for the behavior of 
legals/swf to match OL3, or does it need to match legals/dhtml as well?

Thanks!

Phil



Are we sure it is order of attributes? This is order of data nodes
during binding.

Either way,  don't think we can just close this bug -- it's a
significant change in behavior from OL3.
