Doc guy has noted:

I would appreciate help in devising an example that shows the (or a)
correct approach.
Thanks,

There are 2 issues here:
1) Henry is right (again!): XML attributes do not have an order,
so the example is just broken. To make the column order the same
across platforms, you would have to bind the columns to nodes
(which are ordered), not attributes; or, impose some ordering on
the columns (e.g., does grid have an option to specify its columns,
rather than intuiting them from the databinding?). Diddling the
runtimes to make the column orders match is not the correct solution.
[DOC Guy: In fact, his would make a good documentation example,
showing the inherent unorderedness of XML attributes and how to
deal with that, assuming there is a way to specify grid column order.]
2) I do see one more deferred event handling in the DHTML case than
in the SWF case. This may be indicative of another problem.
I don't know about your theory of SWF node instantiation and the
other bugs, but I do not believe it is relevant here.

So, it sounds like swf is instantiating backwards in legals, when
compared to trunk.
I remember way back in the day we had to reverse the view init
order of children in SWF to get things to look right. We no
longer do this, which could explain the behavior.
This also sounds like it could be the issue underlying these bugs:
LPP-3331 - Flash: Components Menu example is missing openMenu
right/below/top
LPP-3274 - Laszlo in 10 scripting->method example not showing 5
yellow boxes on startup
We need to make sure swf is consistent between trunk and legals,
and dhtml and swf are consistent in legals.

Hi guys,
I'm looking into a jira bug (http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/
browse/LPP-3379) where the display order is reversed between swf
and dhtml. Is there anything I can do about the ordering? The
behavior of dhtml matches v3.3 (it displays data in the order
it's listed). It is reversed in swf. Here's an app that
demonstrates it.
I think this issue came up a while back. Do either of you remember?
Thanks!
