Mind you this was just a quick thought, but I was thinking of being rather explicit:
gmp_property_order "delimited list of properties" thus avoiding having to parse a schema. If that metadata tag isn't set then data order prevails. Steve >>> "Rushforth, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/17/07 3:11 PM >>> Hi Steve, So what values might gml_property_order have? A value to indicate as layed out according to metadata (suggest "metadata") and a value to indicate as layed according to as found in the data (suggest "data"), are there any other possibilities?
