While I don't think it's a traditional role of arrays to have their keys sorted and hash tables have their own internal key sorting, I think it would be a useful addition to rev arrays. I've been questioning the "order in which I entered them" sort order, but some good arguments have been advanced for that. It's still not the top of my list for a sort order, but I don't think having an unsorted order helps anyone except for a possible speed benefit. Maybe a property of arrays would do this: set the sortorder of theDataA to empty -- unsorted, fastest set the sortorder of theDataA to "first input" -- FIFO set the sortorder of theDataA to "last input" -- LFIFO set the sortorder of theDataA to "alpha" -- alphabetic set the sortorder of theDataA to "MySortFunction" -- custom sort set the sortorder of theDataA to "random" -- just kidding -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
