Comment:

 Still I have the question:

 @haruncpi why you don't simply preprocess the resulting json into an
 array, before delivering it to `wp_localize_script`?

 This not sequential order has been for ages, and I'm not sure if it's a
 bug or just something expected. After checking the history of this
 function, this has been there for easily 15+ years (since WP 1.6 when they
 introduced `array_keys`). Not saying that everything old is correct, but
 I'm still trying to find an useful reason.
