Re: [basex-talk] Position of attributes using copy/modify

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

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
