flag strict-order

Mode: Configuration Mode

Description:

With flag strict-order, the configuration knobs are listed in the same order as in the ddl input file; with flag autosort, the configuration knobs are presented as a sorted list when help messages are displayed, regardless of the attribute types.

This flag is applied to the parent object (object or choice or type enum uint) where the children need to be sorted.

Example:

        object newbie {
            help "Newbie settings";

            object network-speed {
                help "Setting the newbie computer network connection speed";
                flag strict-order;
                type enum uint {
                    choice "10Mbps" {
                        help "10BaseT connection";
                    }
                    choice "100Mbps" {
                        help "Fast Ethernet connection";
                    }
                    choice "1Gbps" {
                        help "Gigabit Ethernet connection";
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        user@router#  set example newbie ?
