    hi majdkaid22,

     

    You may reorder your columns in power query alphabetically using a custom code.

     

    =Table.ReorderColumns( NameOfPreviousStep, List.Order( Table.ColumnNames( NameOfPreviousStep ), Order.Ascending )

Hey - perhaps I made a copy/paste error, but here is exactly how I have applied it today:

= Table.ReorderColumns( #"Renamed Columns", List.Sort( Table.ColumnNames( #"Renamed Columns" ), Order.Ascending ) )

 

When I used the the original from danextian, I also for a syntax/EOF error because it is missing a closing parenthesis, so in my version, I added it. Also, as indicated, I changed List.Order to List.Sort.
