Is there anything out there that does this? Thanks for your help.
FWIW, JRuby is 1.8.6ish and has insertion-ordered hashes like 1.9.

Thanks Erik, I agree 100%. I ONLY applied this when testing,

performance really isn’t an issue. I just needed hashes to iterate

order didn’t matter to the functional purpose of the method. It

only when I needed to do assertions in my tests.
Honestly, if order if meaningful you should use an array. I think
any of
the above gems are not the best choice when it comes to performance.
arrayfields gives you both - an array with hash access
