In https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2010-December/012469.html I identified scenarios where you can expect to get interoperable enumeration order among all major objects: The object has no inherited enumerable properties The object has no array indexed properties No properties have been deleted No property has had its attributes modified or been changed from a data property to an accessor property or visa versa The distinction you make between Arrays and Objects isn't one that necessarily exist at the implementation level. Are you suggesting that for all objects other than Array instances that array indexed properties must enumerate in insertion order? Chrome isn't the only browser where that currently isn't true.
