copied!<p>If you're stuck using 1.8.7 for whatever reason (like I am), I've resorted to using <code>active_support/ordered_hash</code>. I know <code>activesupport</code> seems like a big include, but they've refactored it in later versions to where you pretty much only require the part you need in the file and the rest gets left out. Just <code>gem install activesupport</code>, and include it as shown below. Also, in your YAML file, be sure to use an !!omap declaration (and an array of Hashes). Example time!</p> <pre><code># config.yml # months: !!omap - january: enero - february: febrero - march: marzo - april: abril - may: mayo </code></pre> <p>Here's what the Ruby behind it looks like.</p> <pre><code># loader.rb # require 'yaml' require 'active_support/ordered_hash' # Load up the file into a Hash config = File.open('config.yml','r') { |f| YAML::load f } # So long as you specified an !!omap, this is actually a # YAML::PrivateClass, an array of Hashes puts config['months'].class # Parse through its value attribute, stick results in an OrderedHash, # and reassign it to our hash ordered = ActiveSupport::OrderedHash.new config['months'].value.each { |m| ordered[m.keys.first] = m.values.first } config['months'] = ordered </code></pre> <p>I'm looking for a solution that allows me to recursively dig through a <code>Hash</code> loaded from a <code>.yml</code> file, look for those <code>YAML::PrivateClass</code> objects, and convert them into an <code>ActiveSupport::OrderedHash</code>. I may post a question on that.</p>
