The plugin is given the fields as a map of field names to field
definitions, so it appears that the original attribute ordering is lost.
I may be wrong, but the plugin framework doesn't given the plugins
access to the original schema. Instead, it gives them access to the
generated code model, which the plugin can then modify.
If someone could point me to a way for the plugin to obtain information
on the ordering, I'd be happy to try and modify the plugin to
incorporate it.
