package arydshln breaks package vhistory

Question

It seems to me that the package arydshln breaks the package vhistory.
Here is a MWE from the vhistory CTAN documentation page:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{vhistory, hyperref}

begin{document}

begin{versionhistory}
 vhEntry{1.0}{22.01.04}{AA}{created}
 vhEntry{1.1}{23.01.04}{DP|JPW}{correction}
 vhEntry{1.2}{03.02.04}{DP|JPW}{revised after review}
end{versionhistory}

end{document}

The output is as expected:

However, if you also load the package arydshln
documentclass{article}
usepackage{vhistory, hyperref}
usepackage{arydshln}

begin{document}

begin{versionhistory}
 vhEntry{1.0}{22.01.04}{AA}{created}
 vhEntry{1.1}{23.01.04}{DP|JPW}{correction}
 vhEntry{1.2}{03.02.04}{DP|JPW}{revised after review}
end{versionhistory}

end{document}

The output becomes:

Any idea why this happens? Is there a way to prevent this problem, so that the functionality of both packages can be preserved? If not, is there an alternative package to arydshln?
Thank you very much in advance.

The arydshln package has often conflicted with other tabular packages (and vhistory loads ltxtable which loads longtable and tabularx). I thought these issues had been resolved, but maybe not. Loading arydshln before vhistory solves the problem, but it remains to be seen whether that breaks any specific arydshln functionality (although it might not.)
I've added this as an answer, since it appears to work, but if this breaks arydshln by doing so, then please comment on the answer.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{arydshln} % load before vhistory

usepackage{vhistory, hyperref}

begin{document}

begin{versionhistory}
 vhEntry{1.0}{22.01.04}{AA}{created}
 vhEntry{1.1}{23.01.04}{DP|JPW}{correction}
 vhEntry{1.2}{03.02.04}{DP|JPW}{revised after review}
end{versionhistory}

end{document}
