| Sorting an EList for serialization [message #1124536] |

Hi all,
I have a need to sort the objects in an EList feature in my model (for the purposes of limiting the number of forward references) prior to saving but I need to restore their original order immediately after the save is complete.
I've added a hack to save the original EList order, do the sort (using ECollections) and then restoring the EList contents using ECollections.setEList(). This seems to work, but is really ugly.
My question: is there support for doing this kind of thing in EMF core (similar to reordering features using XMLSaveImpl.Lookup), or do I need to use this ugly hack?
Thanks!
Bob

Bob,
No, there's nothing to support something like that directly. The
feature's value is fetched by
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.impl.XMLHelperImpl.getValue(EObject,
EStructuralFeature), so perhaps you hook into that to substitute a list
with a different order; be cause that the list must implement internal APIs.
