| 730 | To make sure that the access by index is easy to use by client applications, this RFC is including an additional requirement on the indexing. |
| 731 | |
| 732 | The index order supported by the reader must be the same as the order of the properties described by the class definition that is returned by the reader. This allows application developers to have a predictable ordering and not have to maintain additional mapping tables at their end. |
| 733 | |
| 734 | The default implementation described above will follow this requirement. Providers that do not implement these new functions natively will not have to change for applications to be able to use the index access. For providers that implement these new functions natively, this index ordering requirement must be used. |
