I think I did post on this - but it was years ago.

It's one of the most annoying features of the API, unfortunately it
is a problem of HTTPs making really - parameter passing depends on
what sort of FORM object was the source of the parameter data.
What I did was:
1. enumerate the parameter names into an array
2. sort the array however I wanted it sorted
3. perform my parameter operation using the array for the names
This is really the best thing you can do... The container could do it
for you but it wouldn't make any difference to the speed (except to
decrease speed where for situations where sorting isn't required).
Java 2 provides Collections which make sorting easier.
