Modisco Model Browser GUI misleadingly changes the orders of attributes in * cardinality. They are presented sorted by metaclass name instead of the real order in the XML file. Although the order could be significant for some metamodels, in our case this was not appropriate. What we should see is the data in the order of the file.

We met this bug when the order of the statements in block in the javaxmi in Modisco Model Browser were not ordered as we expected. It took us a long time to open the XML file with a text editor which shown the order we expected.

Actually, the ordering depends on the "Sort Instances" option, which appears in the toolbar of the Instances panel.

Also, you might want to enable the "Show Ordering" option (also in the toolbar of the Instances panel) : it displays the index of each element in its parent's list.

This was not a "bug".
