An "unordered" set is an *unordered* set. It is inappropriate to expect any kind  of intrinsic or 'order of insertion' ordering of elements in such a set. It would be a waste of development and computational resources to impose a behavior on an entity that is not required.

On the other hand, a "JSONArray is an ordered sequence of values" (http://www.json.org/javadoc/org/json/JSONArray.html).
