But I've never encountered that problem with either code. Has not happened to me, though one would assume that if unchanged the info goes right back to them in the same order.

I suspect that in certain cases PayPal will refuse to accept your response, because the order of the values has changed.Has that ever happened to you? Or are PayPal's rules more relaxed than the docs say? I am tinkering with Paypal’s IPN, and I have a question about your code.
