Describe the problem
When using order_by_key(), the order of the returned OrderedDict is not the same as the database making pagination very difficult
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a collection with this json in "/test" for example :
{
"123": {"myValue": true},
"100001": {"myValue": true},
"100002": {"myValue": true},
"100003": {"myValue": true},
"100004": {"myValue": true},
"100005": {"myValue": true}
}
db.reference("/test").order_by_key().limit_to_first(4).get()Current :
OrderedDict([('100001', {'myValue': True}), ('100002', {'myValue': True}), ('100003', {'myValue': True}), ('123', {'myValue': True})])
Expected :
OrderedDict([('123', {'myValue': True}), ('100001', {'myValue': True}), ('100002', {'myValue': True}), ('100003', {'myValue': True})])
Comments
So according to this link, order should be the same as the collection but in the corresponding OrderedDict the order is not the same so if you want make a pagination strategy, it just loops as getting the last key of the OrderedDict returned and using it in start_at will return the same result over and over again.
