So the sorting is performed whenever I use :array_matching => all. What if I'm writing a type and have a property that takes an array and do care about the order? I havent looked at the code but wouln't it be possible to use Puppet::Property::List for the member property? Like the group property in the user type. This property class than should do the sorting for us (and I think we can drop the change_to_s override in the member property too) -Stefan
