How to use or configure Json Patch with collections and IDs in java

Question

In java, is it possible to configure the Json patch to perform operation on collections using id object instead of position?

for example:

{
   "op": "replace",
   "path": "/collection/0/field",
   "value": test
},

to:

{
   "op": "replace",
   "path": "/collection/id-of-object/field",
   "value": test
},

In this way i can avoid order problems of large ammount of data inside collections.

Thanks.
