Hi,

I noticed some annoying behavior with getIdentifierFieldNames().

Given:

<id name="a" />
<id name="b" association-key="true" />
<id name="c" />

(The definition order in PHP is the same)

You get:

// getIdentifierFieldNames()
array:3 [
  0 => "a"
  1 => "c"
  2 => "b"
]

The order cannot be trusted when doing e.g.:

function id($id, ...$idN): array {
    return array_combine(getIdentifierFieldNames(), func_get_args());
}

id('a', 'b', 'c');
