+1 on unsorted repr(). It makes it obvious that the collection is not sorted.

Best to change the failing tests. For example, they can sort the dict keys if they rely on a fixed order. Sorting in general is a dubious idea because it can be a major expense with no real benefit for most uses. I don't consider repr() as a performance critical function. It's mostly used for debugging.
