I create a ruby program that need a menu from database:  
menu={  
“open file”=\>“file.html”,  
“save file”=\>“save\_file.html”,  
“quit”=\>“quit.rb”  
}

puts menu.inspect

=\>  
{“open file”=\>“file.html”, “quit”=\>“quit.rb”, “save  
file”=\>“save\_file.html”}

BUT,i hope that as I create menu’s ordered  
=\>  
{“open file”=\>“file.html”, “save  
file”=\>“save\_file.html”,“quit”=\>“quit.rb”}

</div>

or,Is there have a hash method like to\_map ?

puts menu.to\_map.inspect  
=\>  
{“open file”=\>“file.html”, “save  
file”=\>“save\_file.html”,“quit”=\>“quit.rb”}

If ordering is important, don’t use a hash.

menu = [  
[‘open file’,‘file.html’],  
[‘save file’,‘save\_file.html’],  
[‘quit’,‘quit.rb’],  
]
