It's certainly interesting. What, exactly, though, does all that tie'ing buy you that's so much better than the following? 

$hash{ 'keyA' }{ 'keyB' } = "Some Value";
print $hash{ 'keyA' }{ 'keyB' };

Yes, having the keys unordered could theoretically be nice, but in what situations do you find it's an issue?

If it's really necessary, you could in the exact case you need it do this: 

@foo = ( 'keyB', 'keyA' );
$hash{ join '', sort @foo } = "Some Value\n";
print $hash{ join '', sort @foo };
