Description
Go (since 1.1) is well-known for having randomized map iteration order.
When iterating over a map with a range loop, the iteration order is not specified and is not guaranteed to be the same from one iteration to the next. Since Go 1 the runtime randomizes map iteration order, as programmers relied on the stable iteration order of the previous implementation.

I actually use this kr/pretty
module to do a simple string compare and found that the ordering is randomized.

Parameters: {\"digit\":\"123\", \"date\":\"2020-08-20\"}
I am here requesting an option for the user to choose if they want to iterate map in an deterministic order or not. (By default, it should be not deterministic as recommended practice by Go)
