Exactly - I need the values to spit out like records in a record set. When I use structSort, I lose the values and get an index like 1,2,3,4 rather than my original strucure values. I guess I'll just create a tag that magically turns the structure into a custom recordset object which will simplify my life. Given all the things I'm trying to do in this page load, this will be the best way to go for me.

Do you mean that the values of the structure are integers, or the keys of the structure are integers? If the latter, then StructSort, as someone else had mentioned, would probably do it. It will return an array. Then you'll have to loop over the array, sending the current array value as the key to the structure in your processing code. However, that is technically not ordering the structure; merely processing elements inside the structure in a specific order. By there very nature structures are unordered. In most cases, I doubt it makes a difference. I might ask the question if you should you be using an array instead of a structure?
