The OrderingModeOrderingModeOrderingMode type exposes the following members.

	Member	Description
	OrderedOrderedOrdered	Results are returned in document order.
	UnorderedUnorderedUnordered	Results are returned in an arbitrary order.

The ordering mode affects the ordering of the result sequences returned by certain path expressions, FLWOR, union, intersect and except expressions.

Currently, the ordering mode is ignored by XmlPrime, and all affected expressions are evaluated with their results in document order.

Use the OrderingMode OrderingMode OrderingMode property to set the default ordering mode.
