> As it stands right now, Ruby generated structs will be serialized in arbitrary order (due to storage of metadata in a hash). This leads to different binary encoding for the same struct values. Ideally, it should be the same for any two serializations of equivalent structs, and between languages if possible. 
> The two approaches that seem to make the most sense are in lowest-to-highest field id order, and in IDL-defined order. What do people think of this idea, and which approach would be preferred?
