Wouldn't it be just as easy to sort the attributes into the correct order as to generate an error message?
Agreed, and as I also just got bitten by this. The strange thing is that at it also reports 'syntax check passed' first and then spits out the error. Isn't this a syntax error ?
Nothing wrong with the syntax of the statements. It's a semantic matter - there is meaning in the content of the statements that implies an order. However it would seem reasonable that this be fixed up automatically. -- Tim
