Feedback on Requirements
Please clearly and accurately describe the problem scenario, desired behavior, and background information to facilitate timely follow-up by the product team.
[Problem Scenario Involved in the Requirement]
Currently, in the execution plan display, the ID column contains both the type and the number (which doesn’t seem to be understood as the execution order), causing confusion.

[Expected Desired Behavior]
It is recommended to refer to Oracle and MySQL’s execution plans, separating the execution order (number) and operation type into two fields for display. This would reduce the cost and confusion of reading the execution plan.

You’ll get used to it. The readability of TiDB’s execution plan is quite good.
