To me, "--unsorted" implies arbitrary ordering such as the order generated by regular dictionaries. I think the option should be "--order-preserving" or some such. The option name needs to make it clear that the output is in the same order an the input. As side from the option name, I'm +1 on the patch. It is very annoying to look at scrambled JSON when the original presentation order made more logical sense.
