Is the Links[] array in a DAGNode guaranteed to preserve order? Or does it (or might it in the future) get sorted like in GitTree objects?
@agentofuser I think we already saw this come back in different orders, I don’t think it’s deterministic.
@icidasset I think you bumped into this or might remember?

The order should be preserved according to the spec:

It’s preserved sorted, but not in insertion order, right?
elements must be sorted in ascending order by their
Namevalues, which are compared by bytes rather than as strings.
So I can’t make a DAGNode that has links [b, a] and that’s different from [a, b], correct?
Yeah correct, always sorted by Name
