is there a way for AA to behave same as PHP?
I doubt it. This snippet suggests that AA's in PHP are not
simply AA's and do additionally track insertion order (or use
some similar trick). Data in associative arrays is organized in
a way that allows fast key lookup and iterating in an original
order requires tracking extra state. Contrary to PHP, D does
care about performance so I see no way this can happen
automatically.
There is a good chance that if you rely on key order, you don't
really need an AA but plain array of key-value tuples instead.
Thanks I will use plain array, it is not perfect but better than
nothing :)
