"repeat for each" in reverse order ?

[Mark Smith]

How about

put the keys of myArray into kList
  repeat for each line L in kList
   put cr & L before newKlist
  end repeat
delete char 1 of newKlist

  repeat for each line L in newKlist
    --doStuff
end repeat

It's two loops, admittedly, but unless it's a very big array, it'd be 
really quick.
You could also put the first loop into a separate function if you need 
to do this in many different places in your code.


Cheers,

Mark Smith
