What changes were proposed in this pull request?
MapObjects expression is used to map array elements to java beans. Struct type of elements is inferred from java bean structure and ends up with mixed up field order.
I used UnresolvedMapObjects instead of MapObjects, which allows to provide element type for MapObjects during analysis based on the resolved input data, not on the java bean.
How was this patch tested?
Added a test case.
Built complete project on travis.
