Comment (by gfairchild):
Sure, so here's an example model I have in my `swap` app:
{{{
class Term(models.Model):
term = models.CharField(max_length=255)
definition = models.TextField()
reference = models.TextField()
}}}
I've attached the output from two consecutive dumps (`./manage.py dumpdata
swap.Term`).
You can see that the content of each file is identical. And as you say,
the objects are indeed sorted by their primary key. The ordering issue is
with the key-value pairs printed for each object. Each object is just a
dictionary of keys and values, so there's no ordering maintained.
