Good idea.

It's been a while but I believe that that ordering is how the Lists worked in 
Director. You didn't assign them key names. They could have parameters too, 
divided by ":"  You just put data into an ordered spot. To be honest I like the 
non order sometimes, the way it is in Rev.

What about using "after" if you want order instead of "into." "After" could 
cause order for those that need it. It would be great for me because I could do 
this:

"put thisData after myArray[1][1]"

"put myArray[1][1][4] into holdParameterImageList"

I would not need to identify positions with keys if I were just populating the 
Array like a List.

As it is now I must force it together with "into."

"put thisData into myArray[1][1][4]"

I think both ways is the best options. Sometimes you want meaningful keys. Now 
that I think about it you are getting meaningful keys and numerical positions 
at the same time with "into."

That was a lot of help. I just think that "after" might make it clear that it 
should go in order.
