Javascript {} is a map/hash table, not a list. It doesn't have an
"order".
If you want the tag, tagname tuples in tag order, you have to put them
in tag order yourself.
Try "for tag, tagname in sorted(tags.itertems()):"
Note that "sorted(tags.iteritems())" sorts the keys in string order,
not numeric order, because the tags are strings, not numbers. ("100"
< "2" even though 100 > 2.)
If you want numeric order, replace "sorted(tags.itertems())" with
something like "sorted([(int(k), v,) for (k,v,) in tags.itertems()])".
