Preparing an Original Sequence for a Submission

While the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) Japan specification does not explicitly state a particular order for the attributes of the <property> element in the jp-regional-index.xml file, the example file presented in the PDMA specification shows the <property> element with the name attribute before the info-type attribute. 

The order of attributes in an XML element does not matter for well-formed XML. However, to prevent confusion and to satisfy industry expectations, CVB places the name attribute before the info-type attribute in the <property> element of the jp-regional-index.xml file. This conforms with the PDMA example in the specification.

<property>name="submission-number"info-type="jp-regional-m1-admin" >123456 </property>
