RE: Hashtable keys() and elements() order [Was: Question aboutSelect /Options tag]

It will typically iterate the underlying array, (and each array element can
also have a "next" reference, turning it into a linked list).
Given that hashing depends on the capacity, even the same entries put in a
table of different capacity will be returned in different order.
