Indeed! So I learned about LinkedHashMap. This was a new one to me https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/LinkedHashMap.html The Ini.Section class uses a LinkedHashMap<String, String> for storage, implements the Map<String, String> interface and just wraps its LinkedHashMap for all Map operations. For those that don't want to click on the link: LinkedHashMap, is a hash table and linked list implementation of the Map interface, with predictable iteration order And it's part of the standard Java library.
