[sv-ec] RE: 0001721: Ballot comment #188 order used for find and find_index

Forget unique() for the time being,how can find() return an ordered set
of elements that match the with clause if the array is traversed in an
unspecified order?

What original order?

The 2009 LRM says, "The ordering of the returned elements is unrelated
to the ordering of the original array."

The 2005 LRM has a similar statement.

	So if I propose an ordering, should the original ordering of
unique/_index be preserved as well?

	The text already says that the order is unspecified.

	From the comment in the description, "(e.g. traversal is left to
right of the bounds, associative is min to max)", it appears to me that
the desire was to specify an order.

for find and find_index

		In reviewing this mantis item, I can't remember the
intent of the change being requested. 

		 

		Section 7.13.1 says  "Array locator methods traverse the
array in an unspecified order." and that make sense for all methods
other than find_first/_index and find_last/_index. Those methods seem
like they should have an order

		 

		Was there some desire to specify an order for
find/_index, or to specify that the result ordering is unrelated to the
original array (like unique/_index)?
