Hi,
Upon finding out about this "quirk" in the awk language, if you are now horrified that you
have loads of code that relies on this order, there is a temporary solution. Check out the
WHINY_USERS environment variable:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/mawk
In mawk and (apparently) undocumented in gawk. It ensures arrays are sorted when iterating
through in this way.
Hope this helps,
Karsten
