If we have this javascript code: var obj = { b:{propb: 10}, d: {propd: 15}, c: {propc: 15}, a: {propa: 5} }
Does v8::Object::GetPropertyNames() guarantee that the property names will be returned in the same order as they were defined above? I did a test, and the order is preserved, but I want to know if this is guaranteed.
Specification 5.1 of ECMA-262: "The mechanics and order of enumerating the properties [...] is not specified."
For v8 the order of enumerating the properties is currently also unspecified. It might work in some cases, but better don't rely on it.
