[issue38414] Ordering a nested dictionary in python with json format

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

Dictionary preserve the insertion order starting from Python 3.7 (actually from 3.6, but it was not guarantied). I am surprised that you got different result in 3.6. I cannot reproduce it.

In older Python versions you can pass object_pairs_hook=OrderedDict to json.loads() to preserve the insertion order. The regular dictionary cannot preserve it, by its structure.
