possibility of making the json escape function not sorting the input?

[RESDXChgfore9hing]

It would be useful to have a extra flag to make sure the output keys is not sorted.
Since sometimes,I need to feed it to other cli tool or onlt want sttr to just escape it directly will keeping it,unsorted*.

Hello @RESDXChgfore9hing
Thanks so much for reporting this issue, looks like I have to figure out some solution for this.
There is also a bug report open in go internal repo encoding/json: no way to preserve the order of map keys

In sttr code can be found here processors/json.go#L315

it seems like encoding/json dont intend to fix and others suggested to use other library>

For the people who stumble upon this issue from Google, the following two libraries (pick one) can help you if you need an ordered JSON map:

Also, for reference, see this common StackOverflow answer:

I think we would be better of creating a "json-escape-no-sort" and making the current one "json-escape-with-sort"
