Re: [Quickfixj-users] Ordering message tags

[Christoph J. <chr...@ma...>]

Hi,

if you want to enforce a specific tag ordering in outgoing messages then you have two options:
1. Recompile QuickFIX/J with a data dictionary with your desired order of tags. This is the clean 
approach.
2. Extend quickfix.Message and specify the tag ordering. This programmatic approach has some 
drawbacks. See this for instructions: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60048848/4962355

Cheers,
Chris.
