A hashtable will *not* keep the objects in any particular order. If
ordering is important, you'll have to use either a Vector (BOO!) or an
array (Yea!). There's probably things in the new Collections framework
that would also work, but I'd recommend going with an array of a custom
defined type, especially if you're just iterating through the data to
print it out... Very little overhead that way...
