Re: Backward attributes ?

[david_n_bertoni]

Attribute order is unimportant in XML, so the attributes can be delivered
by the parser in any order, and Xalan can copy/serialize them in any order.
If your application is sensitive to attribute order, you should fix it.

Yesterday I needed to use the FormatterToXML to format the DOM to an output
file (the old
formatting I used didn't work sufficiently well). But an odd thing
happened: All the attributes
of all elements were printed out backwards (!). By enumerating the
attribute backwards in
FormatterToXML (row 1016 XMLSupport/FormatterToXML.cpp) I got it to print
the attributes
in correct order.

I use Xerces V2.1.0 (deprecated interface) to parse the XML files, and
Xalan V1.4 for outputting them.

My question is if anyone knows where the order mismatch occurs ?
