It is just a current implementation detail / coincidence, that your first example returns `1` as the first key. Don't rely on that, please. * * * Btw, if you (plural) want sorted tables, there is a new player in the town: [https://github.com/narimiran/sorta](https://github.com/narimiran/sorta) I've tested it as best as I could, but more eyes on it and some "in the wild" tests would be appreciated. (Also, some internal details need some polishing, but the public API should stay the same)
