[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55961] properties function does not preserve order

[ImadES]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #55961 (project octave):

Hi,


I think attention should also be paid to cases involving inheritance.

*Additional examples*

Here are two such cases, based on a common ancestor:


classdef prop_tester_1
  
  properties
    ff_from_1
    dd_from_1
    a_from_1
    ee_from_1
    b_from_1
    c_from_1
    cc_from_1
    bb_from_1
  end
  
end
classdef prop_tester_2 < prop_tester_1
  
  properties
    f_from_2
    d_from_2
    e_from_2
  end
  
end
classdef prop_tester_3 < prop_tester_2
  
  properties
    ccc_from_3
    bbb_from_3
    aaa_from_3
    eee_from_3
  end
  
end


*Results with Matlab R2019a Update 2*


>> properties(prop_tester_1)

    a_from_1
    ee_from_1
    b_from_1
    c_from_1
    cc_from_1
    bb_from_1

>> properties(prop_tester_2)

Properties for class prop_tester_2:

    f_from_2
    d_from_2
    e_from_2
    ff_from_1
    dd_from_1
    a_from_1
    ee_from_1
    b_from_1
    c_from_1
    cc_from_1
    bb_from_1

>> properties(prop_tester_3)

Properties for class prop_tester_3:

    ccc_from_3
    bbb_from_3
    aaa_from_3
    eee_from_3
    f_from_2
    d_from_2
    e_from_2

    a_from_1
    ee_from_1
    b_from_1
    c_from_1

Notice how the ancestor are looped over, from the most recent to the
furthest.
