There are no guarantees that a browser will send the request parameters in
the order they appear on the form, so there was nothing for the servlet
API to "discard" in this respect.
If you really want to process the parameters in the order the browser sent
them (on the assumption that this matches the form order), you can read
the query string (on a GET) or input stream (on a POST) and parse it
yourself, instead of calling request.getParameter().
