So can I store these arrays in a property list(s)? Or do I have to hard-code them into the code. I'm not sure how to open property lists that do not consist of Dictionaries.

Then you shouldn't be using a dictionary. Dictionaries, by definition, are unordered so the keys and values can come out of them in any > order.

The easy alternative is to use two arrays: one for keys and one for values. Or perhaps an array of key-value pairs.
