Bug ID: 73323
Summary: API should preserve the order of pages from generator
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API

Compare
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&format=jsonfm&generator=search&gsrsearch=blue&gsrwhat=text
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=jsonfm&srsearch=blue&srwhat=text
The API reorders the results by page title due to batch title check and as a
result of this, if the order matters (list=search, list=prefixsearch), you have
to resort to fragile kludges like list=search&generator=search which is also
slower.
