[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-346) Define meaning of collection-valued structural properties to be ordered "List" or "Array"

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-346?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=33067#action_33067 ] 

Evan Ireland commented on ODATA-346:
------------------------------------

Can the server assume that clients will preserve order during round-tripping?

That is, IF the server cares about order, it would be best if the client doesn't mess it up.

> Currently we do not specify whether collections of primitive or complex type are "ordered" or "unordered", i.e. whether the client can rely on the server to preserve the order of values as specified in a PUT request to that property, and whether client libraries have to pick an "ordered" collection construct.
