successive calls to list-keys
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

If I make two successive calls to --list-keys and with-colons --list-keys,
can I be ensured that the keys presented will appear in the same
order, assuming the keyring is not altered by the user during this
time?

Yes, with the current version of gpg and probably with future versions
too.
