Order of attributes in generated XML schema

[SteveHarris]

Hi,

I have a problem with the order of attributes when generating more complex XML schemas.

I am implementing an ISO standard.  In the standard I have a pair of classes A & B where B is a specialisation of A.  Class A has several attributes that will transform into elements on schema generation, one of which we will call E and with a datatype of string.

In my implementation of B (B') I want to restrict the datatype of E to an enumeration of strings.  I draw a generalisation association between B and B' and set its stereotype to be XSDrestriction.  In accordance with the rules on complex content restrictions, I then re-declare each of the elements of B in B' varying the type of E to achieve the desired result.  So far so good.

The difficulty is that the order of the elements generated from B differs from those in B' so my XML parser reports that there is an incomplete functional mapping between particles.  I can re-order the particles manually in the schema but this kind of misses the point...

Does anyone know how to work round this?

Many thanks

Steve

Build 787 now shows the ordering buttons by default.  It seems they used to appear and dissapear according to the setting of an 'sort features alphabetically' option in tools/options/objects.

Thanks for fixing this - my schemas are now generating elements in the correct order.
