Description

I am trying to sort the list returned by the generated getFooList() [multiple occurrence method] using java.util.Collections#sort(java.util.List<Type>, java.util.Comparator<Type>). The elements are not sorted, and no exception is thrown. I would expect either, but I do not see any reason for the list to be unmodifiable (and thus throwing exception when trying to sort it). A simple workaround is to create a new list supplying the original list (from the generated method) in the constructor. The new list is sortable without any problems.
