Unfortunately YAML::quick_emit has been deprecated and is no longer available in newer builds of the Psych gem. If you want your hash keys to be sorted when serialized to yaml, you'll have to use the following monkey patch instead:

class Hash
    def to_yaml opts={}
        return Psych.dump(self.clone.sort.to_h)
    end
end
