No but testing does. Now you can't merely diff two documents and tell whether they are the same, because header ordering may cause spurious differences. It's not impossible to rewrite the test code to parse all this out and order it and compare, but, it's a fairly big jump in complexity for no apparent benefit -- we do have the original response recorded anyway, with ordering intact. We're normalizing away notably more than the order already so I'm not seeing much of a downside to ordering.
