What you could e.g. do is saving the names (or other unique identifiers) to a 
QStringList and write this QStringList to KConfig. KConfig will definitely 
keep the order in this list, and you can use it in order to restore the order 
of the entries.

Another solution is to store a position with each entry and sort by those. 
That's what e.g. KMail does for the accounts.
