IGNORE THE POST ABOVE
NOW TRULY SOLVED

The problem with the post above was that the validator was not order
preserving, I added some lines to the IS_IN_SET constructor, not it
truly works

     ....
       >>> IS_IN_SET([('a','max'), ('b','john')])('max')
        ('a', None)
    """

    def __init__(
        self,
        theset,
        labels=None,
        error_message='value not allowed',
        multiple=False,
        zero='',
        sort=False,
        ):
        self.multiple = multiple
        self.labels = labels
        if theset and len(theset[0])==2 and (isinstance(theset[0],
list) or isinstance(theset[0], tuple)):
            self.theset = [str(item) for item,label in theset]
            self.labels = [str(label) for item,label in theset]
        else:
            self.theset = [str(item) for item in theset]
        if isinstance(theset, dict):
            self.labels = theset.values()
        self.error_message = error_message
        self.zero = zero
        self.sort = sort
....
contrutor ends there

maximo if you could add this code to the trunk it would be very nice
