E2083 Order of fields in record constant differs from declaration (Delphi)

Go Up to Error and Warning Messages (Delphi)

This error message occurs if record fields in a typed constant or initialized variable are not initialized in declaration order.

program Produce;

type
  TPoint = record
    X, Y: Integer;
  end;

var
  Point : TPoint = (Y: 123; X: 456);

begin
end.

The example tries to initialize first Y, then X, in the opposite order from the declaration.

program Solve;

type
  TPoint = record
    X, Y: Integer;
  end;

var
  Point : TPoint = (X: 456; Y: 123);

begin
end.

The solution is to adjust the order of initialization to correspond to the declaration order.
