Summary: Description Kevin Rice 2007-10-22 22:00:56 BST 
ROW major order seems to be the poorly described default in XTCE, COL major is
a less popular but unheard ordering of array cells in memory.  These are well
documented and understood constructs and conversion between them should be easy
for any implementer.  By providing an attribute to select the ordering we'll
support everything but custom orderings. Wikipedia has an excellent entry on
the topic.
