huh? A List is an ordered sequence. Both are indexable.

Wiki:

A list is any enumeration of a set of items. List or lists may 
also refer to:

and

Some sets can be enumerated by means of a natural ordering (such 
as 1, 2, 3, 4, ... for the set of positive integers), but in 
other cases it may be necessary to impose a (perhaps arbitrary) 
ordering.



Why you use that logic to choose a word is a kinda strange. A 
List doesn't imply much except what people want it to. You are 
choosing a single interpretation to not use it, when there are 
many.

A List is what someone creates with a pen and paper. It has an 
ordering(the first one and last one). A linked list or "unordered 
list" are just versions of a list.

A list is a list is a list!

Regardless, it's probably not the best term to use

TArgList or TArgSeq would be more descriptive.
