Thought so... I couldn't find any reference to the result order in the
Delphi or Kylix help.

What is strange is that it always gave consistent results in Delphi 7
and FPC 2.0.4, 2.0.5 and 2.1.1.

As a workaround, I store the results in a sorted TStringList and work
from there...  Thanks for the quick response Michael.
