Question Populate ds using ReadXml, inserts out of order using WriteXml

[vbsemipro]

I'm populating a dataset using ReadXml method (no SQL dataset). The dataset is used to pupulate a datagrid, and after adding a new entry in the datagrid, this entry is inserted in the dataset in a particular sequence. Upon closing the application, the dataset is then written to a file using WriteXml resulting in the newly added item appearing at the end of the row positions for the correct table. My question is: why does the WriteXml method create this row in the last position?

Thanks for any help.
