I don't think this is properly the function of an array. If you're
talking about adding engine support for LIFO or FIFO stacks or queues
then that's a slightly different topic. But trying to access array
elements in the order they were added is a bit like trying to do the
same with database records - it's just not, strictly speaking, the way
databases work.

If you're using numeric arrays and you add elements in sequential
order, then note that you can get what you want by saying

put theArrayA[5]
