I have a a class with the attributes 'left', 'right', 'middle' as seen in the project explorer.

When I iterate over the attributes in Java script the order is 'left', 'middle', 'right'.

Is there a way to avoid this?? - It basically blows up my ability to autogenerate serialization/deserialization code for classes.

Yes, if you Ctrl+Arrow UP on an attribute in the Features window, you'll get a popup message asking if you want to disable alphabetic sorting.

Hi,

Another way: Start | Appearance | Preferences  -> Object -> untick 'Sort Features by Stereotype' (in the right column)
I hope this will effect javascript iteration as well, not just the appearance on the screen.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The order of attributes in Java Script seems to be always alphabetical - i.e. does not necessarily match the presentation order in EA.

I think this issue is also related to the master-replica implementation. We work in replicas, which are synchronized with the master. The retrieval order follows the insertion order in the database so if synchronization order adds new elements to the master in a different order than the insertion order in the replica the retrieval order is different in the master. This is propagated to any new replicas.

Don't do master-replica.

Use any other method, but don't user master-replica.
