In my case I got the desired functionality by replacing HashMap with: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/LinkedHashMap.html
"This implementation spares its clients from the unspecified, generally chaotic ordering provided by HashMap" "This technique is particularly useful if a module takes a map on input, copies it, and later returns results whose order is determined by that of the copy. (Clients generally appreciate having things returned in the same order they were presented.)"
