I have a mix of `println` and things that trigger “enhanced display” features in Juno, like `display`ing a warning. The enhanced display items show up in the console out of order. E.g., for:

```julia
println("Hi.");
display(:a_symbol);
println("Hej.");

```

I see the output:

```julia
Hi.
Hej.
:a_symbol

```

This seems like a bug? The Juno doc says to report such things here.

Yeah, there’s no way to guarantee proper ordering here afaict – `println` just dumps text into `STDOUT` (which is also buffered), while `display` sends JSON over a socket. It usually works okayish though (when you have enough work being done between the statements, it’s very likely that the ordering is correct).

Thanks @pfitzseb. I see. Since I’m just using `println` and `display` for debugging, maybe I should change all my `println` statements to `Juno.info` so that it will use the same mechanism and show up in order with `display`.

This now gives the expected output:

```julia
Juno.info("Hi.");
display(:a_symbol);
Juno.info("Hej.");

```
