In some cases, the term is used to mean a dictionary that remembers the order of insertions, and in other cases it is used to mean a sorted dict,

I would be more in favor of the idea if we could come up with a less ambiguous naming scheme.

Perhaps "indexed list" or maybe "keyed list" would be a better term for the first variety.

And "sorted dict" seems like a good enough term for the other one.
