Re: [Configobj-develop] Make ConfigObj and Section oredered

[Arash A. <aza...@gm...>]

Yes but it only preserves the order for scalars(or sections) .Cant keep
both at same.

If you insert scalar *a* within section *A* ,then insert section *B *in
section A , and then insert scalar *b , *and then section* C *the order I
like to see is* : a , B , b ,C*
But with scalars you get* a,b , *
and with sections you get* B,C .*
*
*
Is there away you get both ?

Thanks ,
Arash.
