Jeff DeCew commented on THRIFT-849:
-----------------------------------
Yes, if we had a multi-pass compiler then the only compelling ordering would be
alphabetical.
However, the wiki clearly states that cyclic structs (the primary benefit of a
multi-pass compiler) are a non-feature of Thrift. (Personally, I think it's a
shame, but I understand why.) Without that benefit there is little reason for
a multi-pass compiler, and as long as the compiler is one-pass, authors of
thrift files will be putting meaning into the order of their structs and
services.
