Pete, you are correct. "Lines of the keys" are not sorted. Bob, thanks. I have not ever seen "element" used before. Interesting.

I tend to use for each line in the keys also, mainly because element returns the contents of the array and I often find myself needing to know the key value. Plus if you need to get the array elements in key sequence, I think you have put the keys into a variable and sort them then base the repeat loop on the lines in the sorted variable... I think???
