You can't store hashes in order, but you can read them (for example
you have ID in order you want to - you can do that in your SQL
statement)
example:
foreach $food (sort keys %food_color) {
print "$food is $food_color{$food}.\n";
}
or you can use module like Tie::IxHash, I used Tie::Hash::Indexed and
works good.
