Hi John,

If you read the documentation of WORequest's formValueKeys method, it says:

"The returned array is not sorted in any particular order, and is not 
necessarily sorted in the same order on successive invocations of this method."

(http://wocommunity.org/documents/javadoc/WebObjects/5.4.2/com/webobjects/appserver/WORequest.html#formValueKeys())

So I assume your workaround will not work always (even if it does sometimes), 
since you assume, that request.formValueKeys() gives you the right order.

If you really care about the order of the key-value-pairs in the URI, I think 
you have to parse the query string manually. 

Take a look  at NSArray's wonderful method "componentsSeparatedByString(String 
string, String separator)" and apply it to your WORequest's method 
"queryString()" with separator "&". then a second time on each key-value-pair 
with separator "=" and then you should have the key at "objectAtIndex(1)" in 
the same order as within the queryString.

C.U.CW

P.S.: What's the reason you want to know the exact order? I haven't needed such 
a thing in many years of web development.
