Result of SHOW INDEX now sorted by primary key column position

The result of SHOW INDEX | INDEXES | INDICES | KEYS was previously sorted by the primary key column names. Since this was unintuitive, the result is now sorted by the position of the primary key columns within the primary key. #61131 (Robert Schulze).
The SHOW INDEX | INDEXES | INDICES | KEYS command output sorting has been improved to order by the position of primary key columns within the primary key instead of by column names.

Why it matters

Previously, the results of index listing queries were sorted by the primary key column names, which could be unintuitive for users. Sorting by the position of the columns within the primary key provides a clearer, more logical ordering that reflects the actual key structure.

How to use it

Simply run the commands SHOW INDEX, SHOW INDEXES, SHOW INDICES, or SHOW KEYS as before. The output will now be sorted by the primary key column positions automatically without requiring any additional configuration.
