The list hacked my message apart. Here's the rest: When I loop over this top level struct, I would expect my results to come out the order they were created, but instead they are seemingly sorted alphabetically by the "dsc" key: <cfloop collection="#opts#" item="ii"> <b>#opts[ii]['lab']#</b></a><br />#opts[ii]['dsc']#<br /><br /> </cfloop> ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
