By default, Hashtable is unordered. Then, how can you retrieve Hashtable elements in the same order as they are put inside?

If you really want to do this with Hashtable, you'd have to implement a mechanism yourself to remember the order in which the entries were inserted into the Hashtable.

But you'd better use LinkedHashMap, which already does this for you. Look it up in the API documentation.
