Bug ID: 67237
Summary: Citation ordering seems non-deterministic

Status: NEW

Looks like the order in which citations are generated are not deterministic and
ordered in terms of how they are seen on the page wikitext. So, the first
citation on the page might start with [39] instead of [1]. This is so today @
http://parsoid.wmflabs.org/enwiki/Barack_Obama?oldid=614710126 -- it appears
that the citations are ordered based on the order in which Parsoid's Cite
implementation receives them which in turn depends on how subpipelines fire,
etc. and is non-deterministic.
Our citation implementation needs fixing to match wikitext order -- perhaps by
sorting on top level dsr for top level citations and template dsr for citations
that are generated by templates.
This should also fix the irritating rt-test variations we occasionally see (and
which had baffled us till now) where semantic diffs are triggered because of
cite numbering changes.
