How to keep the order of elements in hashtable

Question

I have a hashtable . values() method returns values in some order different from the order in which i am inserted.How can i get the values in the same order as i inserted?Us

Answer 1

A hash table is inherently unordered, so you are using the wrong data structure. Since you don't specify what language you are using I cannot suggest an alternate, but you need some type of ordered key/value set.
