[has-PR] Ordering claims in OP Metadata

[David W Chadwick]

Some Issuers require their existing paper based certificates to have their contents listed in a particular order, and require this order to be preserved in the digital credential. Thus we need to allow the way that credential claims are displayed to have an order associated with them.

Three alternative ways have been suggested:

i) requiring the claims metadata to be an array, or

ii) adding anorder property to the metadata of each claim, or

iii) defining a new order property that lists the order of all the claims.

We need to decide the best way to indicate the ordering of claims.

PR#243 has been written to address this issue and will be modified to reflect the decision of the group.

iii) seems to me to be the most practical way.

In the pending PR #243, Jeremie and Tobias seem to lean also towards iii).

[Kristina Yasuda]

I thought most people were arguing in favor of i) array?

[David W Chadwick]

If we could agree at our next meeting which method people prefer I can update the PR accordingly. Thanks.
