I assume Mike is using my code, so yes, the keys of the user
dictionary are sorted. But as dictionaries don't have an order
anyway, it doesn't matter.
There is a possible problem with arrays though. I assumed that there
are no arrays whose element order matters, so I simply sort all the
arrays I find. Otherwise the whole thing wouldn't make sense, as for
example the list of entities (which EOModeler constantly scrambles
around) is an array. I am not aware of any arrays where the order of
their elements matters, except maybe arrays that have been put in the
user info doctionary.
Maybe the code should be changed to not sort arrays which are below
an entry named 'userInfo'. Sounds like a hack, though :)
