Hi,
I know that the order of attributes in XML is not relevant, but I am wondering whether there is a way to add an attribute as the last one using copy/modify expression. The “as last” option seems not to work for attributes.
Cheers, Giuseppe
Hi Giuseppe,
the attribute order cannot be enforced indeed. We can’t even guarantee that the attributes of a parsed document are returned in the same order when it’s serialized. This is due to the spec: attributes are treated as node properties with no particular order.
A question in reverse: Why do you need attributes to be returned in a particular order?
Ciao, Christian
