Hi ,

In scripting shown here  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html#\_document\_fields](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html#_document_fields)  
,  
does the values function returns the troken in the order in which it was  
indexed.

For eg: if the field value is as follows

"arrayData" : ["one" , "two" , "three"]

Will doc['arrayData'].values give results in the order in which it was  
index , that is as ["one , "two" , "three"] ?

Thanks
