I would expect the order to be the same as the order that the fields
are submitted to the server (which, in turn, should be the same as the
DOM order of the form elements), but if I wouldn't rely on that
behaviour.  If you need them in a specific order, best to order them
yourself on the server.  This is especially true if you have some sort
of non-HTML (or impure-HTML) interface, since any sort of dynamic
scripting (e.g. JavaScript) can potentially mutate the actual form
submission in an arbitrary way.
