Description

When we went from the old JSON parser to the new one (because of license issues), we wound up introducing a loss of ordering under some conditions. That loss of ordering was because the new JSON parser uses hash-based ordering for keys and doesn't preserve file ordering.

The upshot is that we need to use the alternate, order-preserving method of outputting some configurations.
