Well, you can count on my support, for sure!

I definitely share your opinion. But I understand that pg_dump wasn't
originally designed for this purpose, although such a feature would seem
so natural, at first glance.
So, another idea would be to implement another utility, something very
similar to pg_dump (probably sharing most of its code with it, or
calling pg_dump like my scripts did), but giving an ordered output.
Implementing such a tool outside of postgres would bring a bit more chaos.
So, the tool should be preferably bundled with postgres, to avoid the
need to get a third-party tool.
Hm. When I think about it twice, it sounds like overkilling.

Opinions?

I'd say +1, but the idea should be a bit more matured first, maybe?
