Description

Oracle BIP Data Model has a relatively new feature to view data as a table (alternative way to XML view). Outstanding! Thanks Oracle.

Table View sorts columns in the table in it's own, uncontrollable order, like newly added to SQL columns will be at the end, and so on.

It would be nice if the columns order exactly follows SQL, all the time.

For those who managed to read to the end, here's a workaround. Write into Data Set SQL this (magic, ha-ha-ha) code: "select * from dual" and execute it (click View Data button), replace back your SQL into the Data Set, you cleared the cash, your columns now will exactly follow the SQL code order. 

Use Case and Business Need

Any SQL code results preview in Table View outcomes as a table with uncontrollable columns order. For heavy query it maybe inconvenient.
