Clocks: sort in order specified

[OJFord]

What should it do?

clocks:
  locations:
    London: 'Europe/London'
    GMT: 'GMT'

Currently (with London on BST) there would be no way to get those displayed in the order specified. sort: alphabetical and sort: chronological will both put GMT first.

While asc/descending sort might be nice, what I'm actually requesting is sort: as-written, and hoping that that order is preserved by the yaml parser you're using (since it's not an array, I think the spec allows it not to be).

I'd go so far as to say 'as-written' sorting would be the most obvious default, too.

Clocks are listed as a keyed map. In the config file they have an order, but when serialized from JSON, no information about that ordering is preserved (Go maps do not have an order). To achieve this a new config data structure would need to used. If you do decide to tackle this, any changes need to be backwards-compatible.
