Repeating subforms written out of sequence in XML submission

[Former Community Member]

I have a form with a repeating subform that I am submitting as XML. The problem I'm seeing is that the XML elements for the 2nd thru N occurrences of the subform are written out of sequence toward the bottom of the XML. Here's the form structure...










And here's what I'm seeing in the aubmitted XML, with 3 instances of the repeating subform created...












Any clues ?

I don't believe you have any control over this - at runtime, the newly generated instances are appended to what's already in the container. Can you change the process that's working with this file to not depend on them being in a particular arrangement? For example if you're processing with something that supports XPath, ask for all the repeatingSubform children of topSubform and you'll get those three together..
