Original Title was: Ability to move down and up feature types in Navigator to specify their order of reading
Its possible to move up and down datasets in Navigator to specify their order of reading by FME. Why not the same ability for feature types ? Maybe because each reader has his own characteristics of reading ?
Yes, I think exactly because each format stores data in different ways. It's probably more likely to happen if you said for database formats only - because it's easier to pick the order of tables to read.
Also for writing.
Great Idea. In addition, it would be even better if the default order of feature types to read with a single merged feature type would be strictly defined and documented.
