In the attached code using “for k, v in pairs()” I get a different order each time it is run. If I use “for k, v in pairsbykeys()” it is always in the same order, just not the order I want. ;) I’d like to get it in the order of the table. Thanks for all your work and your prompt replies.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bruce<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>-- <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Olson Sound Design, LLC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Bruce C.
