XML editor: order of attributes in code completion popup

Hi,

this happens for our XSD based xml editor: just noticed that the attributes in the code completion popup are not sorted alphabetically. As far as I know, the order of attributes does not matter in XML. So, I suggest to sort them after parsing the XSD. Of course, I could also add code to do this when generating the XSD. But when using a predefined XSD file, this is not possible.

Same could also apply to the “child elements” popup, but here I am not sure whether it could cause problems. As far as I know, you suggest only valid elements, so a child element list defined as “xsd:all” could be sorted alphabetically?

Best regards

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

We have just published a new version(8.1.10) to NuGet, where the issue with attribute sorting should be fixed.

Kind regards,

I can confirm that the attribute sorting is working fine.

The elements are not sorted, but here I was not sure in my initial question whether this might cause problems.

Best regards

Hi Wolfgang,

Thank you for confirming. I don’t think that elements must be sorted alphabetically. For example, sequence elements need to appear in the order defined by the schema.

Kind regards,
Dmitry
