| One slight change... I did put the 'require "pairsbykeys"' into the code above, so that people who don't realize that they need to enable that as well will still have it working. | Top |

| I don't see a big problem with making that the default (except perhaps, to confuse people because that will now NOT be the order they will get them programmatically) so I have amended the released version.
Commit 039e557. Edit: Reverted. |

| Ah well that will teach me to not think things through. :-)
I had to revert that change.
Your idea is fine for string keys. However tprint prints generic objects, so the table might consist of (say) functions, strings, booleans, and numbers (as table keys).
It is not meaningful to compare a function to a string, or indeed a function to a function, and thus they can't be sorted.
Your suggested change will only work for a subset of all possible tables. |
