Hi Giuseppe,

XQuery maps are unordered by definition in the specification. If you want to preserve order, you may need to use XML structures, sequences, arrays or additional data structures.

Hi

Is it possible to preserve the order of the keys in a map when the map is returned?:

map{"b": 2, "c": 2, "a": 3}

return

map {
  "a": 3,
  "b": 2,
  "c": 2
}

Thanks!
Giuseppe
