How can I display variant attributes not alphabetically but rather in the order I added the attribute to the variant

[AllJackedUp]

I add attributes to a variant that I later want to put back into a particular string format.  When I pull the attributes out they are alphabetical not in the order I put them in.  Is there some property I can change to keep the original order of the attributes?

Thank you for your time

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to post a snippet of your code that is displaying the variant types. 
By the way, what version of LabVIEW are you using?

I am using LV 8.2.  I have attached a screen shot.  One display shows the attributes in the order I want because I added numbers and a character to the name of the attribute.  The other var display shows the normal way LV displays the attributes.  I use the variant and the attributes to reconstruct the string that you see as the input.  However, the order does not stay consistant to the output which may break things down the road.

I just want to know if there is a settable property on the variant attributes to display them as entered rather than alphabetically.  I have a work around but I would rather know if it is settable through LV instead of adding my numbers and char and stripping them off at the back.

Thanks

Better screen shot.  Shows string order with and without "prepend"

Hi,

Could you post the LabVIEW code so we can see the exact behaviour you are seeing.
