So there is logical order in the list as well as physical order?
I figured that the order was just a result of the implementation, which could be a linked chain of pointers. This might or might not have meaning, depending on common understanding between the writer and the reader.
So a list of Beatles as John, Paul, George and Ringo might or might not be expressing the same information as a list of Beatles as John, George, Ringo, and Paul. How do you know? Received on Thu Apr 15 2004 - 08:18:26 CDT
