    ConfigParser saves the data in a not-predefined order.
    This is because it keeps, internally, the information
    in dictionaries.

    This patch orders the info to be saved in the file
    through the ConfigParser write() method.

    This patch does not let the user to specify the order.

    Note that the patch is backwards (new old instead of old new).

    IMO the 'surgical' editing that has been proposed many times
    on python-dev and c.l.p would be superior to this. IOW, the
    original order of the file should be retained (any new
    entries could be added alphabetically, as here).

    This patch should probably be rejected now, as patch 1371075 (which seems to be a superset of this) has been accepted.

    Closing it, because after the patch 1371075, you can control ConfigParser behaviour regarding order.
