Some components lack 'sort' attribute

Potential issue with OrchestraFIXLatest.xml in EP272.

<codeset> elements contain <code> elements that generally include a ‘sort’ attribute. However the constituents of the following codesets do not contain the ‘sort’ attribute:

  • AllocationRollupInstructionCodeSet
  • ShortSaleRestrictionCodeSet
  • ShortSaleExemptionReasonCodeSet
  • TradSesControlCodeSet
  • TradeVolTypeCodeSet
  • PriceMovementTypeCodeSet

This is inconsistent and is a potential source of errors when manipulating the data.


Not sure if this is the best way to report a potential issue (as advised here) or better to create an issue on GitHub against the Orchestration itself?

Your link relates to the old repository format (2010 aka Unified). We now have annual threads for errors and omissions here.

These are inconsistencies but should not lead to errors. The sort attribute for codes is only used for display purposes in FIXimate and is not normative. I will add it to the error/omissions list nonetheless. Thank you for providing the list.
