If you want to order them, you have to copy them to an array and then sort the array. Let us see an example. Suppose that you read a source file and build a table that gives, for each function name, the line where that function is defined; something like this:

+```{lua}
+lines = {

+}
+```
+
+ Now you want to print these function names in alphabetical order. If you traverse this table with pairs, the names appear in an arbitrary order. However, you cannot sort them directly, because these names are keys of the table. However, when you put these names into an array, then you can sort them. First, you must create an array with those names, then sort it, and finally print the result:
