Object Iteration in Face Templating

Hello,

According to the documentation for Face, one of the types of "for" loop is described as follows:

Object iteration

Iterate over objects

Example

{% assign food = {"salt": "1 tbsp", "ketchup": "5 tbsp", "mustard" : "1 tbsp", "pickle": "2 tbsp"} %}

{% for ingredient, amount in food %}

Use {{ amount }} of {{ ingredient }}

<br>

{% endfor %}

Output

Use 1 tbsp of mustard

Use 1 tbsp of salt

Use 5 tbsp of ketchup

Use 2 tbsp of pickle

Note: Order of iteration is random.

I have a couple of questions about this...

First, the description of "Iterate over objects" is a bit vague, as it really tells me nothing as to what this tag is intended for.

Second is the note at the end stating, "Order of iteration is random." (???) I'm not sure that makes any sense.

It seems that either the documentation is wrong, or perhaps that this tag simply never worked as intended, and as a result the poor fellow who had to write the documentation was attempting to describe the broken functionality as best as possible.

Can Zoho please provide some additional insight as to the original intent as well as the proper use of this particular tag?

Thanks,

Bryan
