Retain order of tables in multi.csv or multi.tsv file #151

Closed liebermeister closed 4 years ago

liebermeister commented 4 years ago

Hi Jonathan,

I noticed that, when importing a multi-table tsv ObjTables file, the tables become reordered alphabetically. Can this be changed, to keep the original order? (I understand that alphabetical order is a good solution if the tables come from multiple tsv files).

Thank you!

Best, Wolf

ObjTables doesn't keep track of this order. For XLSX files, the class order is intended to come from the schema so that datasets can printed out in a canonical order.

I've changed ObjTables to retain the order in which models are defined in tabular-formatted schemas. This is the order that will be used to canonically-print datasets. Python developers can customize this order (as we have in WC-Lang and WC-KB).
