Help with tables

I have this code. 2 questions.
First how can I get the "unlocked" to give me the value. Right now it spits out nil
Second why is item 2 printing before item1? How can I have it in order?

itemList = {}
 
itemList.item1 = {}
itemList.item1.unlocked = true
 
itemList.item2 = {}
itemList.item2.unlocked = true
 
itemList.item3 = {}
itemList.item3.unlocked = true
 
for k in pairs(itemList) do 
        print(k) 
        print(k.unlocked)
end

try

for i,k in pairs(itemList) do 
        print(k) 
        print(k.unlocked)
end

Now I get this. Which is good but I need the name of the tables again.

table: 0x6dca60
true
table: 0x6dca80
true
table: 0x6dafb0
true

try
print(i)

Awesome. Thank you so much. I have no idea why what u said works but it does.

I guess i don't understand the" for i,k in pairs (itemList) do " expression. I understand the for loops when the i goes from say 1, 10 etc.

Thanks for your advice and time.

good to know that it worked..
in the expression "for i,k in pairs (itemList) do" i is the key and k is the value. so the expression reads as "for key,value in pairs(table) do"

Cheers...
