That assumes there is a key on which the objects can be sorted.

But I am interested in an arbitrary order.

The order my friend puts the toys in is whimsical, remember, and does
not map to any particular quality of the toys.

I do not want to have to write my friend's ordering on the toy itself
because it may not be my toy.
