Python does have ordered dictionaries, but the json decoder defaults to regular dictionaries. This is easily overridable with JSONDecoder.

Is there a one-liner you can use from the shell that preserves order?
Starting with 3.5[0] that's the standard behavior.
One liner-wise, you could create an alias
echo '{"foo":12, "bar": 11}' | python -c 'import json as j, collections as c, sys as s; j.dump(j.load(s.stdin, object_pairs_hook=c.OrderedDict), s.stdout, indent=4)'
