Moreover, e.g. the example
for n,key in next,table.sortedkeys(mixed) do
      io.write(string.format("[%2i] [%2s] (t:%6s) -> “%s”\n", n, key, type(key), mixed[key]))
   end
from https://www.contextgarden.net/Table_manipulation returns different
results at least on different runs.
you normally don't iterate over an array that way, compare:

local t = { 11, "44", 22, "33" }

for k, v in table.sortedhash(t) do
     print(k,v,type(k),type(v))
end

local m = table.sortedkeys(t)

for k, v in next, m do
     print(k,v,type(k),type(v))
end

local m = table.sortedkeys(t)
for k=1,#m do
     local v = t[k]
     print(k,v,type(k),type(v))
end
