Did you bother to read the API docs first? Probably not. Here, I'll even help you not have to try too hard: HashMap API docs. To quote from the first paragraph:


This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.

A HashMap does not retain order. It uses a key/value pair to store data instead of indices. Use a List for that, or like the other answer, a LinkedHashMap.

Use LinkedHashMap(available from Java 1.4 onwards).
