Structures do not output in a specific order. If you need alphabetical display then you'll have to use another data type.

I know that structs don't have exact row numbering, but can anyone tell me why the dump order is different to the actual outputted order? Thanks T <cfsilent> <cfscript> //Create a struct to play with Bread.struct=StructNew(); //Set our root location currentlocale="/"; </cfscript> <!---CGI.SCRIPT_NAME is the var with the current location in---> <cfloop list="#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME#" delimiters="/" index="i"> <cfscript> //Insert the looped value into the struct, replacing underscores and .cfm //The keyname becomes the URL, and the keyvalue is the text to link StructInsert(Bread.struct, "#currentLocale##i#", "#replace(replace(i, '_', ' ', 'all'), '.cfm', '', 'all')#"); //Update currentlocale, which acts as the string to update currentlocale="#currentLocale##i#/"; </cfscript> </cfloop> </cfsilent> <!---For demo purposes, dump the struct - note the order---> <cfdump var="#bread#"> <!---Output the struct---> <cfoutput> <div> <p> <cfloop collection="#bread.struct#" item="i"> <cfoutput> <a href="#i#">#bread.struct[i]#</a> > </cfoutput> </cfloop> <p> </div> </cfoutput> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
