Ini File Key Order

[NeoShade]

I'm playing around with building a high score table using ini files and I've come across something that I find a little strange. As I test the game, sometimes my ini file will end up ordered 0-9 and sometimes it will be ordered 9-0. This doesn't really affect the operation of the game, but I find it strange. I've posted my code below (this is currently just running out of a room creation code for testing purposes) so can somebody tell me why this might be happening?

randomise();

// Initialise the Ini File
if (file_exists("scores.ini") == false)
    {
    ini_open("scores.ini");
        {
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName0", "Name0");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore0", 10000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName1", "Name1");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore1", 9000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName2", "Name2");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore2", 8000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName3", "Name3");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore3", 7000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName4", "Name4");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore4", 6000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName5", "Name5");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore5", 5000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName6", "Name6");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore6", 4000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName7", "Name7");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore7", 3000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName8", "Name8");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore8", 2000);
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName9", "Name9");
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore9", 1000);
        }
    ini_close();
    }

// Generate a Test Case
myscore = irandom(100)*100;
myname  = "Test";
show_message(string(myscore));

// Create a Grid
grid = ds_grid_create(2,11);

// Read the Ini File into the Grid
ini_open("scores.ini");
    {
    var i = 0;
    repeat(10)
        {
        ds_grid_add(grid, 0, i, ini_read_string("HS", "hsName"+string(i), ""));
        ds_grid_add(grid, 1, i, ini_read_real("HS", "hsScore"+string(i), 0));
        i++;
        }
    }
ini_close();

// Add current score to the Grid
ds_grid_add(grid, 0, 10, myname);
ds_grid_add(grid, 1, 10, myscore);

// Sort the Grid
ds_grid_sort(grid, 1, false);

// Write the Grid back to the Ini File
ini_open("scores.ini");
    {
    var i = 0;
    repeat(10)
        {
        ini_write_string("HS", "hsName"+string(i), ds_grid_get(grid, 0, i));
        ini_write_real("HS", "hsScore"+string(i), ds_grid_get(grid, 1, i));
        i++;
        }
    }
ini_close();

Nothing specific really; It's just the same as how you aren't guaranteed any particular order when you're working with ds_maps

Ah, ok, so it's something in the way that ini files work then, not something I've done strangely in my code. Thanks!
