Hi,

a dictionary is a hash table, ie. items stored are
hashed and their order changes with insertion and
removal of items in the collection.

having said that, I have an 'ordered' hashtable. it
retains the advantages of the hashtable, yet you are
able to get the items like a vector. quite convenient
in many circumstances.
