to it.
Barney's solution worked so I'm going with that as it was simple and I can
handle simple.

Subject: RE: CFMX and a collection loop problem
The difference is how CFMX holds Structures compared to CF5
In CF5 it always held them in alphabetical order, but in CFMX, it stores
the as they are created (or how is see's them as being created)
Why not re-write it to create the available letters, then loop from A-Z
and check if they're in the list?

Subject: CFMX and a collection loop problem
We store language translations for our site in an XML file that we load
into an application variable like this.
<cffile action="" file="#attributes.xmlfile#" variable="wddxpacket">
<cfwddx action="" input="#wddxpacket#"
output="application.translate">
In CF5.x we access via a loop to make an editing interface.
<cfset lastletter = '@'>
<cfloop collection="#application.translate#" item="field">
<cfif mid(field,1,1) NEQ lastletter AND mid(field,1,1) NEQ '1'>
<cfset lastletter = mid(field,1,1)>
<cfset anchorhref = '##'&lastletter>
<cfoutput>
<input type="Radio" name="letter" value="#lastletter#"
size="+1"
color="##000080">#lastletter#</font>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
This then prints out a nice list of the letters of the alphabet that
have content. All works great in CF5 but under MX the fields are
brought back in a pseudo random order. If I do a <cfdump> of the
application variable it is just fine it is only inside the loop that I
have problems.
