Feb 18, 2010Hi D,
There isn't a guarantee of getting the datagroup contents back in the same order they're listed (whether using an internal or external datagroup). I think this is due to hashing that LTM performs when parsing the datagroup entries.
If you need to get them in a specific order, you could prepend a digit or letter to the class element and then sort by that. But I think that could be computationally expensive.
Out of curiosity, why do you need the elements back in order?
