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.

Agreed! I would be much obliged if you would kindly fix this. About a week into using Power BI and this is my biggest gripe by far. I am constantly playing hunt the field, whereas if it was in the original order I would just know - I would already be moving my mouse pointer to roughly the right part of the list before even thinking about it. Particularly problematic with calculated columns on the end of data set with a "flow" from one to the next in a logical manner. To my mind isLate comes after daysToTarget and I'm don't think I will ever come to see alphabetical order as an improvement. This is just one example from my work today which I hope explains the point.

I would like to customize the list of fields in view mode of the records in a report and save it.

Please add this soon. It is so frustrating trying to find a field in alphabetical order when we are so used to our data being ordered in a different way.

This would be really useful and consistent with Excel Pivot Tables

[kasun_mancanaya]

Yes, please update this feature.

[sunghan_Lee]

How has this still not been implemented 2.5 years after being requested?
