I saw a sorted hash pm somewhere, either in the examples for tie or maybe in Conway's book.

    That would be implemented as a tied hash which only looks like a one, but really is an object.

      Correct.

      It contains a list, where it notes the desired ordering, and a hash, where it really stores everything. If memory serves, the object was an array of two elements, presented as a pseudohash.
