SearchMethod and all methods returns unordered hashtable. May need ordered list instead.

[Anthony Nguyen <AN...@Siperian.com>]

I'm doing some work with the SearchMethod and Exchange 2k. The data
returned from the server is ordered. Once processed by the
XMLResponseMethodBase (method) class, it is put into a Hashtable and
loses its order. I see the need for the Hashtable, a potential response
lookup by URL. However it causes problems with searches. When I make a
search request similar to the one below, I expect the data to be in a
particular order. 
 
SELECT "DAV:contentclass", "DAV:displayname" 
FROM scope ('deep traversal of "/public/folder/ "') 
WHERE "DAV:isfolder" = false 
ORDER BY "DAV:displayname" ASC
 
Had I not use the "ORDER BY" clause, the order would not be important.
But I need it to be ordered. 
 
How should this problem be solved? 
Using Vector, Vector & Hashtable, OrderedHashtable (derived from
Hashtable), or other method?
