list_indexes returns compound keys in a Map, which makes it impossible to reason about the order of the keys about mongodb HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for the reply. I’m not able to read the source code well enough to figure out how "deep" we would have to make a change to be able to preserve the order. It looks like list_indexes just returns an aggregation cursor without any special treatment, so we would presumably need to (at least) return something that is not an aggregation cursor (perhaps a special type of cursor)?

I realize that this is a hassle to solve and that listing indexes may not be considered core functionality, but on the other hand list_indexes is currently broken for at least some use cases, so it might be worth doing anyway. If changing the output from list_indexes is too drastic, perhaps something like list_ordered_indexes could be added?

Any thoughts on whether this is something you’ll be able to prioritize? Unfortunately the Elixir code in this repo looks a little too complicated for me to be able offer any direct coding help, but I’d be happy to contribute in other ways if I can.
