Follow-up Comment #28:

@liang:  there is no difference in this case for a command being process
like:


patch ('xdata', x, 'ydata', y, 'cdata', c)

or 


patch ('xdata', x, ...
       'ydata', y, ...
       'cdata', c);


this specific issue only deals with color data appearing before geometry data
when using the 'property' 'value' calling form.

my goal was for the fix to make minimal changes, so it only slides the
geometry items (xdata, ydata, zdata, faces, vertices) to the front without
changing the relative order of those inputs or the ones that follow.  That
satisfied this specific compatibility issue. 

but yes, that's fine keeping this on default. Since this change relaxed the
(unanticipated) ordering requirement I think the docs on default don't need
any changing.  It may warrant adding a line to the help on stable.  i added a
few property related notes to the end of the patch docstring that I believe
adequately describes the current state of what will go out soon in octave 9
and pushed as https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/773c6bd19630. 

closing this report as fixed.
