Thanks for the comment Sean. What originally brought this about was me trying to be some-what lazy. I have a form with dynamically created elements, that once submitted, I would have to step through and count. If all of the form fields had a value, I could easily import the form array into a ColdFusion array and proceed with my logic on that manner. But because ColdFusion drops empty values, when I tried to dump the form array into my ColdFusion array the data was out of sync. I’ve since gone back and renamed all my form fields (which I know, technically is the best method) and added code to account for the dynamic names, I haven’t had an issue.

I don’t know of a way, but it seems to me that CF handles it correctly. If you are naming your fields all the same, then you dont care which holds what data, what order they are in, etc. If do do care, then they should have different names.
