Subject: Hash table order

Why:

>> a = {}
=> {}
>> a["HEAD"] = "ASD"
=> "ASD"
>> a["TABLE_HEAD"] = "SKSKJKDKSKKSDJKSKDJSKJDKS SKDJSKDJS"
=> "SKSKJKDKSKKSDJKSKDJSKJDKS SKDJSKDJS"
>> a["LONG_TABLE_HEAD"] = ".zx,cmvn;alksdjf a.s,dmnf;ioxcvuaw.,.mnsdfl;k"
=> ".zx,cmvn;alksdjf a.s,dmnf;ioxcvuaw.,.mnsdfl;k"
>> a
=> {"HEAD"=>"ASD", "LONG_TABLE_HEAD"=>".zx,cmvn;alksdjf
a.s,dmnf;ioxcvuaw.,.mnsdfl;k", "TABLE_HEAD"=>"SKSKJKDKSKKSDJKSKDJSKJDKS
SKDJSKDJS"}

I think 'a' should be:

{"HEAD"=>..., "TABLE_HEAD"=>..., "LONG_TABLE_HEAD"=> ... }

NOT:

{"HEAD"=>..., "LONG_TABLE_HEAD"=> ..., "TABLE_HEAD"=>... }

I don't understand why Ruby puts third element into second position of my
hashtable.
