You can use bson.son.SON or OrderedDict to store ordered dict.

And retrive data with as_class=OrderedDict option.

Here is an example:

from collections import OrderedDict
from pymongo import MongoClient
import bson

client = MongoClient()
sample_db = client['sample']
test_col = sample_db['test']

test_col.drop()

data = OrderedDict([("one", 1), ("two", 2), ("three", 3), ("four", 4)])
test_col.insert(data)
print(list(test_col.find({}, {'_id': 0}, as_class=OrderedDict)))

test_col.drop()

data = bson.son.SON([("one", 1), ("two", 2), ("three", 3), ("four", 4)])
test_col.insert(data)
print(list(test_col.find({}, {'_id': 0}, as_class=OrderedDict)))

Output:

[OrderedDict([(u'one', 1), (u'two', 2), (u'three', 3), (u'four', 4)])]
[OrderedDict([(u'one', 1), (u'two', 2), (u'three', 3), (u'four', 4)])]
