Well, yea, but that is what I did, with no success. The hash.sort 
function
simply calls .to_a and then sort on the generated array, so it does 
exactly what you and James suggested. Unfortunately the array is not 
sorted when I iterate over it using

array.each do
...
end

Is it because iterating like this doesn't preserve the order of array 
elements? I assumed .each do iterates in element order. I will test 
this...
