[jira] Commented: (COMPRESS-99) Return zip entries in the original order

["Stefan Bodewig (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-99?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12841896#action_12841896 ] 

Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-99:
----------------------------------------

That wouldn't really be too hard to do, just make the entries Map inside ZipFile a LinkedHashMap rather than a HashMap.  I'm just not sure whether my (and ZipFile's) understanding of "original order" is the same as yours.

In ZIPs you have a central directory at the end of the archive and I'd consider the order of entries in this central directory the order of entries inside the archive.  This doesn't necessarily agree with the physical order of entry data inside the archive.

> We would like ZipFile.getEntries() to return its entries in the original order, instead of the random ordering used at present.
> If this cannot be done, we need a way to sort the entries back into the original order ourselves (which at present is not possible either.)
