jaikiran pai commented on IVY-1507:
-----------------------------------

AFAIK, there isn't a deterministic order for the artifacts retrieved by the retrieve task.

>             Project: Ivy
>          Issue Type: Question
>          Components: Ant, Core

> Is it expected behavior that path variables set by the retrieve task will have an inconsistent ordering, or is this a bug? 
> I am using the retrieve task within an Ant script and setting a path variable.  When I run the script on Win7 the path contains the jars in the order in which they are listed in the ivy.xml file; however, when i run the script on Linux, the order of the two jars is reversed.
> I have two dependencies in a "test" configuration....JMockit and JUnit.  My "test" conf is the first conf listed.  JMockit is listed as the first dependency and JUnit is listed as the second dependency.
> Due to the nature of the jars in use, the order of the entries in the path variable important. 
> I've also cleared the .ivy2 cache several times just to be sure that I am getting fresh resolutions.
