[libRETS-users] Specific Order

[Dave Dribin]

Hi Russ,

RETS has no sorting capabilities, and guarantees no order.  Just  
because you see an order on this one server does not mean that all  
servers do this.  Heck, this one  vender could change the sort order  
tomorrow and still be within spec.

If you're working with one specific server, I suggest contacting  
their tech support to see if you can rely on the sort order.
