The order of keys in a JS object is not guaranteed. If you need a particular order, consider having a separate array of keys to preserve the ordering.

{
  "order":["name", "email", "query"],
  "data":{
    "email":"[email protected]",
    "query":"k",
    "name":"a"
  }
}

From JSON specification http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt:

An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array.

It wont affect the php script?

If you change the format of the protocol, you definitely should also change the script on the other end of the communication channel.
