Comment #38 on issue 164 by charles.kendrick: Wrong order in Object
properties interation
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=164
Regarding 2, kind of amazed to see Array iteration order raised again.

1. to my knowledge, no one posting in any of the variants on this bug has
ever asked
for consistency in Array for..in iteration order, so the fact that other
browsers
have inconsistencies in Array for..in order is irrelevant. Everyone is
concerned
about Objects, and every other browser is consistent about Object iteration
order.

Array order has been raised *solely* as an excuse for not implementing
consistent Object iteration order. But it's always been irrelevant.
Regarding 3, it *was* universally adopted - until Chrome. That's the
problem..
Regarding several drop-down lists with thousands of items - often they are
comboboxes. One example I have in mind is some award-winning personal
finance software you may have used, ahem, they would like to be able to
recommend Chrome, but can't.. lot of people in that situation.
