   No, this is not possible with the default parameters:

   The order name/value pairs are added to the object is not preserved by the library. Therefore, iterating an object may return name/value pairs in a different order than they were originally stored. In fact, keys will be traversed in alphabetical order as std::map with std::less is used by default. Please note this behavior conforms to RFC 7159, because any order implements the specified "unordered" nature of JSON objects.

   You would need to pass a version of map without alphabetical order to the library.
