RE: Problem: BeanWriter not enforcing the element list order inBetwixt

Hi Robert,

You were right! Creating another betwixt file for the listItem object
solved the problem! So simple and elegant!

Thank you very much,
Nik

i'm not 100% sure: it's a lot easier for me if you can provide a test
case. it means that i can just import the source, run the test and see
exactly what's not right. it also allows me to verify directly whether
the problem has already been fixed.

i think that your problem is that you need to create separate dot
betwixt files for GetCTNHistoryResponse and GCTNHRespHistoryListItem.
