If you need entries in your AA in a specific order, extract
them (or their keys) into an array then sort them yourself.
E.g.:
string[string] myAA;
auto keys = myAA.keys;
sort(keys);
foreach (k; keys) {
... // now keys will be in the expected order
}

oh. thanks :-)
I will get that integrated into my example code, and will post
again, once it's working (so others can learn too)
