Customize fields list ordering

[beneuto1]

At least as an option, allow fields to be ordered the same as the source query rather than alphabetical. This way they can be put in a logical and consistent order. Obviously, a workaround is to prefix each column name with a number but this is clunky, unattractive and a pain if the columns change often.

Any sort of usability testing would have shown that this is a must have, not an afterthought

First thing I noticed after trying Power BI today. The default sort should match the order of the original data source to avoid confusing people.

Absolutely mental that this still hasn't been looked at and fixed in the last 6 years.

This is very basic requirement for a reporting tool. This feature will help to bypass lot of manual works required to get columns in proper order.

Surprisingly this is not done. Missing functionality, especially if we are looking at Microsoft Fabric seriously.

I don't understand why this basic feature hasn't been implemented, while in Power Pivot in Excel, fields appear in the same order than the source.

Is there an update on this yet? We need to be able to rearrange columns on the side bar with Table Fields as we see fit or at least keep the same order from Source Table. No point having these sorted in alphabetical order.
