sort kv.get by ModifyIndex

[freeseacher]

hi It will be perfect if results returned by kv.get can be sorted by ModifyIndex Currently i have such code

index, responce = self.consul_api.kv.get(path, recurse=True)
if not responce:
    return
for resp in responce:
    if resp['Value']:
        try:
            metadata = json.loads(resp['Value'])
            if not isinstance(metadata, dict):
                raise ValueError
        except (ValueError, AttributeError):
            key = resp['Key'].split("/")[-1]
            metadata = {
                key: resp['Value']
            }
        for k, v in metadata.items():
            self.add_metadata(node_data, k, v)

and such structure in consul

  {
    "Key": "some_key",
    "CreateIndex": 4344,
    "ModifyIndex": 4412,
    "LockIndex": 0,
    "Flags": 0,
    "Value": "{\"weight\":\"12\"},
    "Session": ""
  },
  {
    "Key": "some_key/weight",
    "CreateIndex": 4401,
    "ModifyIndex": 4401,
    "LockIndex": 0,
    "Flags": 0,
    "Value": "4",
    "Session": ""
  }

looking to ModifyIndex we understand that value should be 4. but we got 12 instead.

Hi there. I don't quite understand what you're trying to do, but I think your best bet is to sort the list after you get the response from Consul
