the issue with a drawing program is that the items have a specific, natural order (the order that they're layered in the drawing). Core Data doesn't support this automatically.

That sounds like a killer right there. I could hack the order concept back in using indexes or linked lists, but that's extra work to get me something I already have with my non-Core Data NSArrays.


Has anyone else seriously considered doing a drawing app (or something else in which order is important) in Core Data before? When the documentation mentions such a hypothetical app, I'm getting the impression that it was just a random example that illustrated the point in question (like non-standard attributes), and doesn't represent a situation that has been fully thought through. I hope I'm wrong.
