There's no guarantee that will happen. It's a hash table.

No.

None.
If you require both an associative array and an ordered list, then you
will need two different data
While dealing with getting keys of arrays, I found out that associative
array keys where not registered in the same order as declared:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Declare and populate an associative array a
unset a
declare -A a=(
["one"]="first"
["two"]="second"
["three"]="third"
