FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.X
SYMPTOM(s):
Fields are NOT sorted by order in a .df file
Want to use the .df file for custom Source Code Management softwares.
CAUSE:
Known behavior. Fields are sorted by order of creation in Data Definition files (.df). However, it does not affect the field order when the definition is load in a database schema. In other words, the field orders are the same in the source and target databases.
This behavior is therefore not annoying with the provided tools in Data Administration.
FIX:
Make your owns data definition dumping tool with the additional clause BY _field._order, or rework the .df file.
