If the requirement is to iterate on a table having the keys, values 
sorted by key (assuming the keys can be sorted), there are ways to do 
this. Please see http://lua-users.org/wiki/SortedIteration for an 
example (this just replaces pairs(t) with orderedPairs(t)).

\startluacode

local testtable = { z = "A", y = "B", x = "C" }

for i, j in next, testtable do
     context("%s:%s",i,j)
     context.par()
end

context.blank()

for i, j in table.sortedhash(testtable) do
     context("%s:%s",i,j)
     context.par()
end
