yeah, ruby hashes does not have an order in older versions of ruby, this is quite a horrible hack but some have reported success: <%= def sort_yaml(obj) arr = obj.sort out = "---\n" arr.each do |element| entry = {element[0] => element[1]} out += entry.to_yaml.to_a[1..-1].join + "\n" end out end sort_yaml(scope.to_hash.reject {|k,v| k.to_s =~ /^(uptime.*|rubysitedir|_timestamp|memoryfree|extlookup_precedence|extlookup_datadir|swapfree|title|name|caller_module_name|module_name)$/ }) %> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
