Hi everyone! I'm trying to extend dataset model with no-code feature. It works fine but I have a question concerning the tabular render. How are ordered the fields? I have created an aspect in a pdl file:

record customElts {
  Date: string
  Id: optional string
  Link: string
  Title: optional string
}

I thought I would have a table with these 4 columns in this order: Date | Id | Link | Title But I have this on the UI. Is it ordered randomly?

Is it matching the ordering in source? I think we don’t have field ordering supported yet- it would make a good feature request https://datahubproject.io/docs/authorization/roles/#assigning-roles

Hi @astonishing-answer-96712, no it's not matching (pdl and json data ingestion follow the same order). That's why I wonder how this is working (randomly I guess?). Thanks for the link!

@bulky-soccer-26729 might be able to speak to this!

yes unfortunately we don't have sorting available on custom aspects right now, however that makes a ton of sense! this is something we hope to work on, but i'm unsure of any timeline specifically for it

Hello @bulky-soccer-26729, we are trying to find a workaround to sort the columns of a custom aspect. It could be in alphabetical order, or by the order of the declaration in pdl file, it is not important, but we need to have a fixed order to deploy to production for our users. Do you have any recommendations on how we could try to fix this random order issue? Thanks a lot. Antoine
