Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  *  Users who are creating tests or stubs using the FIX         *
  * transport and protocol and who have created their own FIX    *
  * dictionaries.                                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Tester outputs fields in a custom FIX dictionary in          *
  * numerical order rather than dictionary order.  This means    *
  * that the published FIX message may have the fields in the    *
  * wrong order, causing the FIX server to reject the message.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Users who are experiencing this problem must upgrade to a    *
  * version of Tester that the problem has been resolved in.     *
