If you look at the values for lab, you will see
opts[0]["lab"] = "Option A":
opts[1]["lab"] = "Editor"
opts[2]["lab"] = "Creator"
You looped over Opts, so it returns 0,1,2, which would be
Option A,Editor,Creator
which probably made you think it was going text/desc. However, you were
looping over OPTs, where the keys are 0,1, and 2.
