(sorry to respond to Steve's post, but I missed the start of this thread)

Not from a dictionary, but urlencode can keep the order from a sequence:

>>> import urllib
>>> help(urllib.urlencode)
Help on function urlencode in module urllib:

urlencode(query, doseq=0)
[snip]
    If the query arg is a sequence of two-element tuples, the order of the
    parameters in the output will match the order of parameters in the
    input.

But like Steve said, the chances that it's an ordering problem are really,
really low (IOW, if it *is* an ordering problem then the server/CGI is
broken :)  ).
