Details:

The following example demonstrates the issue

In Matlab 2016a:

%-- Matlab test --
>> ip = inputParser ();
>> ip.addParameter ('a', 1);
>> ip.addParameter ('b', 2);
>> ip.parse ('b', 2, 'a', 2);
>> ip.Results

ans = 

   a: 2
   b: 2
%-- end Matlab test --


In Octave 4.2-rc2:

%-- Octave test --
ip = inputParser ();
ip.addParameter ('a', 1);
ip.addParameter ('b', 2);
ip.parse ('b', 2, 'a', 2)
ip.Results
ans =

 scalar structure containing the fields:

   b =  2
   a =  2
%-- end Octave test --
