The documentation of Object.entries explains that the order of items in the returned array is the same order as for a for-in-loop. In contrast, the demo example shows something different. It compares the definition of an object to the entries()-result!

I want to know if the order of items within an Object is somehow defined (and affects keys(), entries(), loops, etc.) or if the order is implementation specific, and thus not guaranteed, like hash arrays behave in other languages.
