Many, it seems.  There was a long thread about this on the improve-rev 
list recently.

You can treat it that way with just one line of code: the sort command.

   put the keys of tMyArrayA into tKeys
   sort lines of tKeys numeric
   repeat for each line tKey in tKeys
      -- do some sequential thing
   end repeat


Live the dream. :)
