Re: table iteration problem

[Victor Young <littlehaker@...>]

I've considered this method before. It's useful, but when the table has many keys, it will be troublesome and easy to make mistakes. Thanks any way!

Short answer: such tables do not have a stable iteration order (it's
the usual semi-random hash table thing)

To get the order you want, one way is to keep a sub-table of the keys
in order, and use that for iteration.
