The internal list should be 'hidden' in the sense that it itself would not be modifiable, though it should be routine to obtain a copy of it at any time. That copy could then be arranged as needed. Any rearrangement of the original list's order destroys the reason for having an entry- or change-ordered dict in the first place. -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
