# File formatting and ordering The formatting of files can be changed while being processed. Dasel itself doesn't make these changes, rather the act of marshaling the results. In short, the output files may have properties in a different order but the actual contents will be as expected. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://daseldocs.tomwright.me/v1/notes/file-formatting-and-ordering.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
