sorting attributes

[Notion, Endre Furnes]

Hi all. I'm a newbee to xerces. Has just replaced the crimson with xerces, and access it via jaxp interface.   The reason why I replaced the parser, was that crimson removed '\n' and '\t' from the attribute values. (I'll do that myself). Also some annoyment in relative versus absolute dtd pointing in crimson. Xerces is fine in both respects. However, Xerces "sorts" the attributes according to name? Crimson did not. Been looking all over for a way to switch that off, but does not find a way.   Anyone give be a hint?   Thks and best regards   Endre Furnes
