What version of Rose are you using? I have just repeated this with rose 2001
and 2001a and cannot replicate this behaviour. I have done both reverse and
RTE of corba structs and interfaces and the attributes in the model stayed
exactly in the order in which they were defined.

Apart from the fact that this did not happen when I did it, I also have a
list in the specification dialog box for the struct or interface which
allows me to explicitly order and reorder the attributes. You could use this
to fix your model, but given the volume of IDL you mentioned, I would try to
figure out why your model was reordered in the first place!!

Ummmmm, maybe you did not face North and spit over your left shoulder???
Honestly I can't reproduce your problem with the versions of Rose I am
using.
The only other thing I can think of is that they moved round during the
export to Word - how did you do this? SoDA? The Rose API?
Can you tell me:
- your Rose version and patch level
- look in your model and let me know if they are in order in the model
- how you did the export
Regards,
Dave.
