[INPUT] Generating drop downs with a specific ordering?

[Adrian Beech <a....@bigpond.net.au>]

G'day,

Is it at all possible to generate a select list (drop down) with a specific
order?  For example, I can add the option items to a map like object in a
given sequence (yeah, yeah... I know this doesn't guarantee the order of
access is linear!) but when the control is generated the options are
muddled.  I assume the resulting option elements of the select control are
ordered by their corresponding hash code?

Thanks if you can help.

AB

Have you tried using a SortedMap or LinkedHashMap? You could also use something
from Commons Collections like LinkedMap or one of the other OrderedMap
implementations.
