    issue can also be addressed with a small and simple

    <br>

    helper function that wraps urlparse and compares the query

    parameter. Or

    <br>

    you cann urlencode() with `sorted(qs.items)` instead of `qs` in

   Hm. That's actually a good point.

  Seems adequate to me. Most programs wouldn't care about the order,

  because most web frameworks grab whatever is there in whatever

  order, and present it to the web app in their own order.<br>

  <br>

  Programs that care, or which talk to web apps that care, are

  unlikely to want the order from a non-randomized dict, and so have

  already taken care of ordering issues, so undoing the randomization

  seems like a solution in search of a problem (other than for poorly

  written test cases).<br>
