I disagree. I think you are confusing entry order with type of ordering.
entry order could be alphabetical but it could also be by time of entry,
for example. My point still stands: an ordered dictionary would be a
useful data structure to have.

Mike Fletcher suggested this also and it is the way I'm getting to eat
my cake and have it too :-)
