Issue 17493: Section B5.3 (canonical-xmi-ftf)
Source: Oracle (Mr. Dave Hawkins, dave.hawkins(at)oracle.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Nested elements are ordered by uuid. While there's nothing wrong
with that it seems a shame to lose alphabetic ordering by name,
which makes the XMI easier to read. Perhaps sorting could be
by name if there is one and then by uuid?


Resolution: 
Revised Text: 
Actions taken:
July 13, 2012: received issue
December 23, 2013: closed issue
Discussion: 
Human readability is not really a prime concern of XMI. The big disadvantage of sorting in name is that names can change (unlike uuids) so that the same object would appear in a different position.

Disposition:	Closed, no change
