How to preserve the element order when saving a django JSONField

I'm writing a small app that saves JSON verified by a schema to a PostgreSQL DB using Django's JSONField class. I am relying on the data to keep nodes in order butJSONField apparently uses PostgreSQL's jsonb type, which reorders the JSON data to increase indexing performance.

Is there a way to preserve the order of elements using this method by forcing the json type instead of jsonb? Or should I give up and look into a different database's JSON support?

Samples:

What I send to the DB to be saved:

"Item": {
            "@id": "blah"
            "ItemComponent": {
                "Weapon": {
                    "@blah": "blah"
                    "WeaponFlags": {
                        "@blah": "blah"
                    }
                }
            },
            "Flags": {
                "@blah": "blah",
            }
        }

How it is saved to the Database:

"Item": {
            "@id": "blah"
            "Flags": {
                "@blah": "blah",
            },
            "ItemComponent": {
                "Weapon": {
                    "@blah": "blah"
                    "WeaponFlags": {
                        "@blah": "blah"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
