A standard find() in PyMongo will not return an object who's fields are in the same order as that object, if you retrieved it via mongo shell.

This is because, the default type returned is a Dict and the order is not defined.

You can use SON as suggested. Here is how I did it. Now the field order will be respected.

This is for pymongo==3.4.0

from bson.codec_options import CodecOptions
from bson.son import SON

opts = CodecOptions(document_class=SON)
collection_son = mongo.db.collection.with_options(codec_options=opts)

collection_son.find_one({"imsid": '12345'})
