i know in theory they are not ordered, so how come its ordering automatically in alphabetical asending order when the key is a string?

If you want an order, use an array. Pascal -----Original Message----- From: Mark Smyth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: donderdag 4 april 2002 11:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: Structure Sorting Hi I'm looping over a list e.g. ("D, C, B, A") and inserting into a structure as follows: <cfset list="D,B,C,A"> <cfset struct= structnew()> <cfloop index="i" list="#list#" delimiters=","> <cfscript> StructInsert(struct, i,""); </cfscript> </cfloop> but when I ouput the structure, it is sorted alphabetically by key. <cfloop collection="#struct#" item="i"> <cfoutput>#i# #struct[i]#<br></cfoutput> </cfloop> So the above code would output: A B C D Instead of what i want which is (The same order the elements were in the original list) D B C A Anyone know any way to keep the output order the same as the input order or are they always automatically sorted?
