v15.2 – Order of Stereotypes in MDG <Stereotypes/>
« on: May 06, 2021, 06:19:39 pm »
Our experience to date suggests that the order of stereotype definition in the <Stereotypes/> doesn't matter.  Can anyone (Sparxian) confirm or deny?

TIA,
Paolo

It shouldn't...  But this is EA and EAUI.  "Better safe than sorry".

In our case, we've now grouped our stereotypes into a number of functionality based regimes.  Consequently, there are many "forward references".  Given some of the weirdness we've found in EA processing in the past, I just thought I'd check that this wasn't a problem.

The order of stereotypes in a profile matters in toolbox profiles and diagram profiles, but not in your standard UML profiles. Forward references are not an issue.

Thanks Neil, that's what I was after.
