When using shorthand notation:
x = {a:"first", b:"second", c:"third"};
properties are added in reverse order, so "c, b, a" as you can see when you hit
CTRL+ALT+V in test movie mode:
Variable _level0.x = [object #1, class 'Object'] {
c:"third",
b:"second",
a:"first"
}
That's why the 2 loops have different output.
So basically you're doing:
x = new Object();
x["c"] = "third";
x["b"] = "second";
x["a"] = "first";
y = new Object();
y["a"] = "first";
y["b"] = "second";
y["c"] = "third";
If you want them to look/behave the same, use the same notation for both.
x = {a:"first", b:"second", c:"third"};
y = {a:"first", b:"second", c:"third"};
