No, match the *names* of the new and old field name lists
One of us is confused here, maybe me, ....

OK, we start with:

self._payload = ['Ian', 'Haywood', ..., 123456]
self._idx = ['firstnames', 'lastnames', .... 'xmin_identity']

when we do _cmds_store_payload the final query returns
data= [123457]
idx = ['xmin_identity']

then why can't we do:

for i in range (0, len (idx)):
    self._payload[self._idx.index (idx[i])] = data[i]

By the "idx" of this new query, its names match those in the original 
self._idx
