Asunto: why does xerces add attributes in alphabetical order of
attribute name
Hi,
I am trying to add 3 attributes to an element in this order:
e.setAttribute("ref", "record");
e.setAttribute("minOccurs", "1");
e.setAttribute("maxOccurs", "unbounded");
Later, when I try to serialize my dom tree, the attributes seem to be
added
in alphabetical order of the attribute name, like this:
<element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs='1' ref="record"/>
Why does xerces change the order of attributes? Is there anyway to
force
order of attributes?
thanks for your help in advance,
Malia

According to XML 1.0 all attributes are unordered. Hence, it is up to the
processor to return the attributes in any order it wants and there is no
way to force the order of the attributes. If you definately wants order
the make the attributes subelements instead.
