OK. Just thought that you had a way of using the List index to sort items as added.....

>As to Kevin, I don't know why he wants to insert into a specific location in a dictionary, I simply said it could be added as normal and then when required perform a linq query ordered by his variable as above and process them. I don't know what he's trying to do or really care. Just making an observation.

Don't know exactly what Kevin wanted either. But since he asked about a sorted dictionary then SortedDictionary seemed the way to go :-}
