I'm a bit surprised I haven't found this answered already - maybe I'm just not seeing it.

 

When using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service writer - is it possible to define the layer ids, or layer order that will be used when creating a new feature service? I want to help ensure that the new layer ids match previous ids. Since the writer can't add new layers to an existing service, I need to delete the existing service first.

 

Do I need to ensure the different layers are passed to the writer in the preferred order?

 

Thanks!

I think this is part of the answer:

Write Feature Types in a Specific Order (safe.com)

Says it's not possible to order feature types when writing except by adding multiple writers (which won't work for the ArcGIS Online writer type when creating a new feature service).

 

I would think it should be technically possible to pre-assign a layerID for each feature type, but I'm assuming nothing has been implemented.
