What determines the column order of a table data view mapping?

In my capabilities.json, I have data roles defined like this:   "dataRoles": [ {"displayName": "Measured Depth", "name": "measuredDepth", "kind": "Grouping"}, {"displayName": "Is Planned", "name"...

    Columns order depend on how you fill data-fields of your custom visual.

    Custom visual must use roles property to detemine what column is.

Okay - not the answer I hoped for - but at least confirms my suspicion.  Perhaps this would be a good feature request since parsing column data and matching by name to the configured values will be a common activity (I would suspect).

    We'll consider this idea but it's pretty easy to implement by enumerating columns and checking role name.
