Order (sort) based on what?
Item names? Data values? Item creation dates? The Blue Fairys Diary? smile

There is no method of doing this with out altering the item and or data becuase hashtables dont store information insertion/update dates

I would suggest if this is an important feature to what ever yuur doing you swap to using a hidden window, some sample code below
Code:
alias -l hidden.window.name {
  var %window = @ACTUAL.WINDOW.NAME.HERE
  window -h %window
  return %window
}
alias hw_name { return $hidden.window.name }
alias hw_add {
  ;$1 = item name
  ;$2-= data
  if ($0) {
    if ($fline($hw_name,$1 *,1) || $fline($hw_name,$1,1)) { dline $hw_name $v1 }
    aline $hidden.window.name $1 $2-
  }
}
alias hw_del {
  ;$1 = item name
  if ($0) && ($fline($hw_name ,$1 *,1) || $fline($hw_name ,$1,1)) { dline $hw_name $v1 }
  }
}
alias hw_get {
  ;$1 = item name
  if ($0) && ($fline($hw_name ,$1 *,1) || $fline($hw_name ,$1,1)) { return $gettok($line($hw_name,$v1),2-,32) }
}


u can use
/hw_add itemname itemdata
/hw_del itemname
$hw_get(itemname)
$line($hw_name,0) items in table
$line($hw_name,N) item N in table using inserted/updated order this line is wrong see correction below

For more exact or wild card searches you could create extra aliases or just access the hidden window yourself using $hw_name instead of the actual windowname (this way the window well always exist)

--correction--
$gettok($line($hw_name,N),1,32) itemname N in table using inserted/updated order
$gettok($line($hw_name,N),2-,32) itemdata N in table using inserted/updated order
