Hash Table sorting order on play Question

[dudebxl]

Why does the hashtable re-sorts itself on play? See attached picture.

Hi,

 Unfortunatly, because hashtable order doesn't matter and so internally it's not enforced and can change.

the only way to show an ordered list comign from a hashtable is to extract the keys, sort them, and then display each item of that hashtable following the order of the sorted key.

does that make sense?

Bye,

I was looking for an answer to this, and I've found it in this thread.

However, I'm curious why the order changes in the first place. Surely there should be a reason Unity decides to gratuiously resort the records on the table?

Hi.
A hashtable is an inherently unordered data structure.

Which means C# is doing this list 'randomly'
