        A set is a collection that contains no duplicate elements, and
        whose elements are in no particular order.

It *explicitly* states that elements are in no order, thus it is not
portable to assume that the order is in fact consistent.

You can't fix the code.  You're depending on an implementation detail,
subject to change without notice.
