webfiend,
As I said at the bottom of my post. I think if I were to start over, I would use an array (I believe pseudo-hashes are dead for now). I very well may start over since this is my first OO project. Thank you for re-affirming what I already guessed was the most logical solution - starting over.

Cheers - L~R

Update: Using an array doesn't really solve the problem, so starting over is not the answer either. Since new parameters can be added to the record once it is retrieved, the same logic for sorting the output of the hash would have to be used to splice the parameter into the array at the right location.
