Features sorted in Ecore [message #419870]

Hi,

When generating from a schema the features (types and elements) are sorted
alphabetically in the Ecore. Is it possible to control this so that the
order of Classes and their attributes is the same as the order in which they
are defined in the schema?

This does not really hinder any operations just that if the XML file saved
is to be viewed by a user then readability could be improved if more
commonly used or required attributes (such as 'name') appear before other
attributes.

Waqas,

XSDEcoreBuilder has support for it:

protected boolean useSortedAttributes()
{
return true;
}

protected List<XSDAttributeUse>
getAttributeUses(XSDComplexTypeDefinition xsdComplexTypeDefinition)
{
if (useSortedAttributes())
{
return xsdComplexTypeDefinition.getAttributeUses();
}
else
{
List<XSDAttributeUse> result = new
ArrayList<XSDAttributeUse>(xsdComplexTypeDefinition.getAttributeUses());
reorderAttributeUses(result,
xsdComplexTypeDefinition.getAttributeContents());
return result;
}
}

But there's no support for setting the option in the UI

Hi Ed,

It would be nice to have that option in the UI too. Should I add a =
feature request for this if it is feasible?

Waqas,

Yes, it's a very reasonable feature request, especially considering that
it is effectively just some UI for existing capabilities.
