json serialization enhancement

[tponthieux]

Having the items in the json output show up in the same order as the variables in the format string improves readability.

Instead of :
log_record = {}
use:
log_record = OrderedDict()

If you're worried about compatibility with older versions of python you could wrap it in a try or something.

try:
from collections import OrderedDict
except Exception:
pass

try:
log_record = OrderedDict()
except Exception:
log_record = {}

Great Suggestion! I've updated to support OrderedDict when using the proper python versions.

Probably don't want to import OrderedDict for every log that gets written.You could have a try at the top and a separate try for assigning the log_record variable.

Good catch, that'll teach me to do the code at 4am. Updated.
