- Just to be clear on your process, you are reordering your columns in Power Query, saving and closing, refreshing and then in Desktop you right-click the table and choose Copy Table?
Just one item on this as a comment. I have seen column reordering steps add a considerable amount of time for refresh. So, once you get this sorted out I would highly recommend removing that step as it is kind of useless in general.
LUCKILY for you guys - ALL you have to do to fix this bug is go to Advanced Editor of the Query that is not re-ordering correctly. Copy the Text version of the query. Create a new blank Query, copy and paste the broken query's text into, refresh the query, and then delete the old one.
Your new query will have the right order - this has something to do with cacheing possibly - but renaming the query and clearing caches + restart did not fix it for me... Only re-creating the query worked.
