Hello,
 I am currently keeping a list of objects sorted in a particular object. =
I am wondering if=20
anyone has an opinion about whether I should keep just the 'id' in this =
list or if it is ok
to actually keep a reference to the object in the list. When I use the =
list at a later point in time
I will need to access several attributes of the object. If I keep the =
'id' I would have to find the object=20
for each entry in the list. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
