[BUG] 'combine' problems

[Hugh Senior]

Thank you for this, Mark. I appreciate that arrays have no intrinsic key
order, but it kinda seems intuitive that a 'split tValues by row' followed
by 'combine tValues by row' should resolve to the original data.  Knowing
that the result of the first mangles the key order clarifies why it doesn't.
I would, nevertheless, expect automatically allocated numeric keys to be
numerically ordered.

I have set #8582 to not-a-bug.

Hugh,

 From your report, I can't conclude that his is a bug. Arrays have no
order.
