I raised a question on stack overflow about how RStudio reorders the YAML document type arguments on generation. I've checked today and it's still reproducible on Mac OS X 10_12_4 using Version 1.0.153
A reasonable answer was provided (though it's somewhat beyond my ability to understand how technically correct it is).
I was wondering if the devs had an opinion on if this was by design, an uncontrollable side-effect or a feature, and if there were any other opinions from the community?
