Hi Marc,

I wonder what patch you have submitted. The AdaCore repository (http://svn.eu.adacore.com/anonsvn/Dev/trunk/gps/gnatlib/src/) does not show commits.

I followed Thomas Locke's example in his Ada-DK Wiki. As in the output example (as in Thomas Ada-DK wiki), the sequence of the objects in the output are not the same as when they are created. Let’s take the core company data as an example.

In procedure Set_Core_Company_Data, the sequence is company_name, vat_no, hours, product and web. But the output shows the order: company_name, web, [addresses], products, hours, [persons] and vat_no.

Is this a bug in GNATColl.JASON? I can’t find any bug. Perhaps it is the “Ada.Containers.Indefinite_Hashed_Maps” or I have missed something?

I have posted a comment at Thomas' blog (http://ada-dk.org/2011/11/getting-down-and-dirty-with-ada-and-json/#comment-107).

Thanks.
