Plugins order in metalsmith.json

[velocityzen]

Plugins section:

"plugins": {
    "metalsmith-drafts": true,
    "metalsmith-markdown": true,
    "metalsmith-permalinks": "posts/:title",
    "metalsmith-templates": "handlebars"
  }

according to ECMAScript specification: The mechanics and order of enumerating the properties ... is not specified.
Here must be an array.

Pretty sure it's guaranteed in node. Properties are enumerated in the order they are defined.

if it ever becomes a problem i'm down to change it up, but for as long as we can get away with it i like the simplicity of an object over an array :)

@esundahl Not completely sure if there are pure numbers.

var obj = {
  "first":"first",
  "2":"2",
  "34":"34",
  "1":"1",
  "second":"second"
};
for (var i in obj) { console.log(i); };
// Order listed:
// "1"
// "2"
// "34"
// "first"
// "second"

Anyway, who will use numbers as plugin names?
