Version 1.3 seems to (although reversing the order
on occasion).
In 1.3 they're reversed as added, then reversed as read, so that hits 
have fields in their added order.  In 1.4 I've fixed this so that 
they're always in order.

Re: order of Field objects within Document

I believe Document's fields() method will always give you the fields in
the same order for a given Document instance.
It may not be consistent accross multiple Document instances, though,
if you add Fields to your Document in a different order.

order of Field objects within Document

[Sam Hough]

Can anybody confirm that no guarantee is given that Fields retain
their order within a Document?

Version 1.3 seems to (although reversing the order
on occasion).

Doesnt seem likely but would be really useful for my current application ;)
Im just asking for clarification not a change of spec although a comment 
in the JavaDoc for Document making it explicit might be handy.

Thanks
