> If you enumerate an array or a collection, the order is predictable. Arrays

> element creation order.

> The following code:
>
>        Dim aArray As New String[] = [ "blue", "white", "red" ]
>        Dim aCol As New Collection = [ "a": "blue", "b": "white", "c": "red" ]
>        Dim sVal As String
>
>        For Each sVal in aArray
>          Print sVal;;
>        Next
>        Print
>
>        For Each sVal in cCol
>          Print sVal;;
>        Next
>        Print
>
> will print:
>
>        blue white red
>        blue white red
>
> For other enumerable classes, you must suppose that the order of enumeration
> is random, unless the contrary is explicitely written in the class
> documentation.
