How do you mean the order must be correct. Use some code like this to
give it an index value.
for ($counter=0; $counter < $argc; $counter++) {
list($key, $value) = each($argv);
echo ("key ". $key . "has value : " . $value . "\n");
}

script is run from commandline. Just do a check on this and if not
there get some $_POST or $_GET variables.
