How can I make sure that the sequence of columns in the Convex dashboard table matches the sequence defined in schema.ts? Thank you

Fields are sorted alphabetically (except for _creationTime which is last by default). You can drag them to change the order, and that persists in local storage.

Thank you. I will soon have a table with 300 columns. I cannot imagine to sort it manually. Unless fundamentally necessary to sort columns alphabetically, I believe it is a common sense to give users a more friendly control over sequence of dashboard table columns.

For sure, added feature request label

Thanks. I guess the easiest way is the sequence of columns in Convex Dashboard Tables follows the sequence from schema.ts. Any future changes of the sequence of schema.ts would be automatically reflected in the Dashboard Tables. User still could change it manually by drag and drop as it is now & will have the reset functionality from the right mouse click menu as implemented now. Thank you for considering

Thanks for the suggestion! This is a great idea and makes sense for projects with large schemas. Added to our list of improvements to be made for the dashboard
