Changing TimeStamper key to "ts" breaks ordering of logs for ConsoleRenderer

[macintacos]

The following code:

import structlog

structlog.configure(
    processors=[
        structlog.processors.TimeStamper(fmt="iso", key="ts"),
        structlog.stdlib.add_log_level,
        structlog.dev.ConsoleRenderer(),
    ],
    logger_factory=structlog.PrintLoggerFactory(),
)

logger = structlog.get_logger()

logger.info("Testing!")

Produces the following logs. Note that ts is at the end, instead of the beginning, where I would've expected.

[info     ] Testing!                       ts=2023-08-18T21:53:56.587146Z

If I remove the key parameter from the TimeStamper (structlog.processors.TimeStamper(fmt="iso")), the timestamp properly moves to the beginning, as I would expect:

2023-08-18T21:54:50.018921Z [info     ] Testing!

Considering that the key parameter is built-into TimeStamper, could ConsoleRenderer be updated to properly render the timestamp where it's supposed to be if you change the key?

I'm also not completely convinced I'm not just doing something wrong, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I suspect we need to add a “timestamp” argument to ConsoleLogger, like we have for renamed “event”

Just curious - if I were to attempt a fix for this, are you planning a release anytime soon?

I will try to get out a soonish release
