I see nothing in the docs that specifies that AMEMBERS should return objects in any specific order. If you mean that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is is really Cursor1, Cursor2, Cursor3, etc., then it looks like it is returning them Alpha by name. IOW, it doesn't look like you can count on this behavior.

I am still a little unclear on what you are doing anyway- if you expand, maybe we can come up with an alternative?
