Question: get order of parameters (not arguments)

[benboeck]

An application modifies text files by applying a chain of functions to each line. The order of the parameters (not arguments) matters.

filterapp input.txt -a +b -c -d...

How is it possible to get the order of the supplied parameters (-a, +b, -c, -d) as supplied on the command line?

I tried click.get_current_context().params but the dictionary is not an OrderedDict so the positions change each run (older Python3 where standard dictionaries are still unordered).

Thank you
kind regards

Ben

Click intentionally does not support the ordered option style shown here. There are existing discussions on this such as #567.
