Data View column order change

Data view: I made a couple of calculated columns.  They were added to the right, in the order column.

 

I then realized that a couple original columns (originally on the left) should be modeled as currency (they were just whole numbers).

 

This has moved those 2 columns to the far right, to the right of the calculated columns.

 

I see no way to return them to their original position, or to rearrange column order at all in Data View.....based on searching Q&A.  But given there is a new release every month am wondering if this is still true?

And this is April 2021 still unsolved...I really don't think the feedback system in Power Bi works!

oh my - - did see old Q&A on this topic - - just thought I would check.....

 

I will hazard the guess that Data View isn't perceived as important in that all the action is up in Visuals....but this lack of column rearrangement sure makes the initial modeling/transform more difficult to the BI designer first discovering the data set that we're working with......
