<p dir="auto">By stable ordering, you mean dictionaries with keys being output in the order that they were encoded?<br>
Potentially, but this would require additional work as neither Swift dictionaries nor <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">NSMutableDictionary</code> support this (reasonable seeing as dictionaries are by definition not sorted), and the current implementation uses <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">JSONSerialization</code> as the concrete serializer. Certainly not impossible, though.</p>

Could the `JSONEncoder.OutputFormatting.prettyPrinted` case include the **stable ordering** of keys?<br>
