Can Listvariables ever be sorted?

I get these = results on a page with [listvariables]

7 - = promo_topspot_price, 5
9 - = photo_update_price, 10
13 - = ad_listing_price, 100

What determines order in a [listvariables] result?

On the form prior to the page with these results the item indexed as "13" appears = at the top of the form, with the other 2 actually are in order of = appearance on the form......

If I was = able to have that ad_listing_price item be 1st in a listvariable result = I'd be 'o so happy....

I'm trying to show what has been chosen on this form. It's = a form with 51 radio button choices in 13 radio button groups, so all = this has gotten a little nutty, especially since the client wants radio = buttons so no one chooses more than 1 item in a group.....


ALSO
Doing searches on the new talklist gets me really feeble = results.
I search for "listvariable" and out of  11437 items I = get nothing?????
