Arrays vs Lists

Along this line, the HyperCard Reference Manual (p 7-27):

"You can automatically highlight the line that a user clicks in a 
field, treating the clicked line as a selection from a list."

I see nothing there to imply a list must be ordered.

Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
