      I'm very well aware that mongo stores documents and the order of the keys doesn't matter; but find() results with fields that jump around are quite jarring:

      db.links.find() output
      { "name" : "ABC", "links" : [     {       "url" : "http://www.abc.com/",      "text" : "Home page" } ] }
      { "name" : "DEF", "links" : [        {       "url" : "http://www.def.com",   "text" : "Home page" } ] }
      { "links" : [   {       "url" : "http://www.ghi.com",     "text" : "Home page" } ], "name" : "GHI" }
      { "links" : [   {       "url" : "http://www.jkl.com/",      "text" : "Home page" } ], "name" : "JKL" }
      { "name" : "MNO", "links" : [         {       "url" : "http://www.mno.com/",     "text" : "Home page" } ] }
