Not really.  You can do it manually pretty easily.

There=E2=80=99s a number of functions:

Sort
Shuffle
Pop
Remove
Insert

Easiest way is to take the element you want remove it from the array and =
then insert it back into the position where you want it.  It=E2=80=99s =
quite simple to do.

You might want to consider putting items into a dictionary instead.  =
Then you don=E2=80=99t need to worry about the order.  You have a =
keyword instead for each item in the dictionary and then you grab the =
item you want based on the keyword.
