ConfigObj does store (and preserve when reading / writing) order.

See the documentation on the "sections" and "scalars" attributes of 
sections:

     http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#section-attributes

These attributes are normal lists, representing the order that members, 
single values and subsections appear in the section. The order will 
either be the order of the original config file, or the order that you 
added members.

The order of members in this lists is the order that write creates in 
the config file. The scalars list is output before the sections list.

Adding or removing members also alters these lists. You can manipulate 
the lists directly to alter the order of members.

All the best,

Michael Foord
