The final solution was not at all what I had in mind when I posted my original post. Thanks to the guidance obtained from this thread, I was able to accomplish my objective by using the sort method of a traditional hash (i.e., I did not need the ordered hash as I thought that I would). Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. ... doug -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
