Option to allow pretty print without alpha sorting

See original GitHub issue

Right now, the options are colors, format, and all, but often the order of the json returned is intentional and for clarify. It would be nice to be able to pretty print the json without having it’s keys sorted 😃

Awesome tool, and thanks very much for everything!

Just released v2.2.0 that addresses this issue. Learn about about the new --unsorted, --sorted and --format-options here:

This feature should be default. I love HTTPie, but resorting the keys - while convenient for some usage - is confusing if you don’t realize, that client tool does this. Piping http to jq -C is a workaround, but it should be default behavior. While the order is not probably that important for a machine, it may be for a human observer.
