Allow mapping JSON to Dictionary<string,string>

Hello! I have question. I used next entity with jsonb type column:

class Entity
{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    
    [Column(TypeName = "jsonb")]
    public Dictionary<string, string> Name {get;set;}  
}

I want to use order by for example how Postgres SQL script:

SELECT "Id", "Name" FROM public."Entities" ORDER BY "Name"->>'en' DESC

Is it possible to do this sorting on EF? I searched in the documentation for this, as well as on the vastness of stackoverflow and in issues github, but I did not find an answer to this question.

The provider currently doesn’t support mapping Dictionary<string,string> to JSON; you can either map a .NET POCO (for strongly-typed documents with a fixed schema) or JsonDocument (for weakly-typed documents with varying schemas). See the docs for more details. If you use one of these two mapping techniques, you can generate a JSON field lookup in an ORDER BY just as you would in a WHERE clause.

Keeping open to track mapping Document<string,string>.

Yep - that should take care of serialization. The only thing this doesn’t take care of is querying (e.g. filtering based on the value inside the dictionary).
