Should Task Parameter and Output lists be ordered? #896

Open

Description

I was trying to compare/contrast two binlogs and thought that the process would be made much easier if the parameter and output lists were alpha-sorted. Anyone have thoughts on this? I took a stab at it (trying to change the implementation of ProcessTaskParameter to sort the children post-addition), but my change didn't seem to have any effect.

    You can sort any node by right-clicking

    Just need to see whether there is value in oreserving the original order and whether there is a perf impact from sorting when loading a large binlog

    Perhaps sort the original XML :)

    wow TIL 😲 not sure how I missed this.

    maybe we could sort only when you expand the node?
