That's actually a "perl-ism".  In perl, any of the functions that get
the values out of associated arrays return them in no particular order.
(That's documented.)

So, instead of an associative array (%entries) use an ordinary array
(@entries)  then use a for loop to step through it.

Something like:

   @entries = ars_GetListEntry($ctrl, $schema, $qual, 0, $counter, 2);

   for ($i=$[; $i<=$#entries; $i+=2)
   {
      $entryid = $entries[$i];
      $shortdescription = $entries[$i+1];
   }

You get the point.

Cheers,
Vern
