Preserving order is hard.  Depending on your programming language you might be deserializing the content in to a struct or you may be using a map. 

What I need is a way for individuals and organizations to be able to pass around and share JSON data and collaboratively work on that JSON data and sign the parts that they have done. 



Thanks,
Bret
