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.

Please implement. Even the Pivot table in Excel has this basic feature.

RE: Customize fields list ordering

Please implement this. We need to organize the fields as per our business logic and not in alphabetic order

RE: Customize fields list ordering

Currently the FIELDS area lists fields by alphabetic order within a data object (or EXCEL file). There is no option to display fields in the order they appear in the data object or in the EXCEL file. This makes it more difficult to find fields because they are out of order and scrambled when compared to an Excel workbook or data file.
Therefore, Provide the option to list fields by their order within worksheets and other objects OR alphabetically.
