One part is the number of uses in Sling: There is just a single one, which requires the order to be kept: The ContentLoader loading content from JSON files, should create the content in the order it is stored in the JSON file. Another part is the perception of developers here at Day (yes, this is mainly a Day-only problem, nevertheless, these people are also users of Sling), who expect the properties of JavaScript objects to have a defined order; neglecting the fact, that the standard explicitly leaves the order undefined. So, unfortunately, the issue is kind of serious. Regards Felix
