Keep Column Name Sort Order

I have a large Excel spreadsheet that has the columns sorted/laid out in a particular way.

 

When I import that spreadsheet the Fields are sorted by Alphabetical name.

 

Is there a way to prevent this Alphabetical sorting when spreadsheets are brought into PowerBI?

 

I want to avoid having to append my Column names with an Index prefix.

  • As far as I know there isn't a way to change this. (Maybe an idea for the next update?) Your idea of adding an index to the front should work though. I have done the same on occasion.
