Good luck. :(

 Browsers and servers are neither required to, nor are (to my knowledge)
respecting any sequence of form fields. Basically, IME, if you need the
data going in somewhere to be in the same order ( a program that expects
certain values in certain a order, for example), have whatever processes
the returned data order it for you.
