[QGIS-Developer] Sort order for Value Map widget values

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi,

Since QGIS 3, the configuration is already stored as list (ordered) and
no longer as map (unordered) like in QGIS 2. So it should mostly be there.

What's missing apparently is that the "load the values from CSV" button
does not preserve the order.

I can have a look at that in a bugfixing sprint.

Meanwhile you can type the values manually instead of loading them from
CSV as a workaround
