NSDictionary's keys are not oredered. You should order them yourself.

If alphabetical order is fine, then, instead of:

NSEnumerator *e = [theDict keyEnumerator];
NSString *thePath;

while ((thePath = [e nextObject]))
  // Do something with [theDict objectForKey:thePath];


Use:

NSEnumerator *e = [[[theDict allKeys]
                      sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)]
                          objectEnumerator];
NSString *thePath;

while ((thePath = [e nextObject]))
  // Do something with [theDict objectForKey:thePath];

Cheers,
