SetView flash ... how to stop? about maria HOT 2 CLOSED

Set's are inherently unordered collections and should be used as such. The order of insertion should not be depended upon. See http://peter.michaux.ca/maria/api/maria.SetModel.html where it mentions that the order should not be depended upon.

There is almost always a more natural way to order elements in a set: time of creation, for example. You can ask the model for the elements of the array sorted and then use that array to update your view only changing changing elements of the SetView when elements of the sorted model array are different.

Alternatively one could write a ListModel class that is like a SetView but with defined ordering and methods to insert at particular points in the list. This would be very similar to https://github.com/petermichaux/maria-NodeModel/blob/master/src/NodeModel.js which is a node with ordered children designed to be a used in tree structures.

Another common difference between a set and a list: Usually a set can only contain an item once but a list can contain an item several times because each inclusion is at a different position in the list.
