Ability to order the columns in Data Panel and in Data flows

Organization Name
Donaldson
Description
Currently, the order of the columns in the dataset depends on the order used when creating the data set. There is no way to adjust the order once the data set is created. Especially if a new column is added to an existing dataset, it gets added at the end and is difficult to organize without having to completely rebuild the dataset from scratch.
Similarly, when creating a data flow, the order of the column is determined by the order used to select the columns, there is no way to organize them. having an ability to reorder the column would help in organizing the dataset more efficiently.
Thanks!
Use Case and Business Need
Add new columns to the dataset and order them as per the business preferneces

We have two of the three requests on the roadmap -
1. New columns will be created next to the selected column, instead of getting added at the end.
2. We are adding the ability to re-order columns in Data Prep.
Currently - there is no plan to allow column reordering in Data Flows, but we will consider it as a roadmap candidate in the future.

Thank you very much for the information. Looking forward to the release of this feature.
In addition, it would also be very helpful to be able to reorder the Data sets in a project, currently,They are ordered based on the order of them being added to the project. custom order for ease of use and keeping the projects consistent would be great.

Thanks for your comment and suggestion - since sorting datasets in projects is a very different request from what is already being planned, would you please enter it as a new Idea and we will track it separately. Thanks much.

Hi Luis Rivas,
Do you think we can have the first two requests by this year-- 2021?
