Alphabetical sort of fields in the data and relationship screens to make it easier to navigate large datasets (only the report building screen has fields sorted alphabetically)

RE: Alphabetical sort of fields in the data and relationship screens

As a new user, it seems like you will be able to come back later and change the early decision to put columns in source table order, but after adding many columns, renaming fields, etc., it would be invaluable to be able to go back and now sort all my table columns alphabetically to make it easier to find content, both in the data table view as well as in the report field select view.

RE: Alphabetical sort of fields in the data and relationship screens

I would prefer this like a button option similar to other tools. I can see where users who order the fields in a certain order in the query editor for a reason and in the report screen it defaults to alphabetical sort.
