 When React reconciles the keyed children, it will ensure that any child with `key` will be reordered (instead of clobbered) or destroyed (instead of reused).
 
+You can also key children by passing an object. The object keys will be used as `key` for each value. However it is important to remember that JavaScript does not guarantee the ordering of properties will be preserved. In practice browsers will preserve property order **except** for properties that can be parsed as a 32-bit unsigned integers. Numeric properties will be ordered sequentially and before other properties. If this happens React will render components out of order. This can be avoided by adding a string prefix to the key:
+
+```javascript
+  render: function() {
+    var items = {};
+    
+    this.props.results.forEach(function(result) {
+      // If result.id can look like a number (consider short hashes), then
+      // object iteration order is not guaranteed. In this case, we add a prefix
+      // to ensure the keys are strings.
+      items['result-' + result.id] = <li>{result.text}</li>;
+    });
+    
+    return (
+      <ol>
+        {items}
+      </ol>
+    );
+  }
