Rails - May 2006 - How can I get posted params in correct order?

I''d like to have posted form field data in the same order they were in 
the form.
Raw_post shows the data in correct order but params hash doesn''t. This 
happens every time (tried it with webrick).

Any ideas how to get an array of objects in the correct order?

Unfortunately, that''s just a side-effect of the fact that hashes in
Ruby
don''t preserve order.  As far as I know, your options are to name your 
fields in alphanumerical order so that you can do a 
params.keys.sort.each {}, to keep an array with the keys in the right 
order in the controller, or to manually parse them out of the raw_post. 
  None of these is particularly fantastic...

.. just realized that nested objects make correct ordering difficult.
