{{Quickfixn}} Help with FIX message TAG ordering

[Grant Birchmeier]

FIX protocol does not care about field ordering except for within repeating
groups.

All QuickFIX engines (QF, QF/n, QF/j) will order the tags in the body by
numeric tag value (except within repeating groups, which will be ordered
according to what is specified in the DataDictionary).

If you aren't using QF to transmit messages, then I wonder if you may be
better off not using QF at all.  (Perhaps a scripting language like Ruby or
Python might even be appropriate.)
