--------------------------------
> CM is a mapping tool (as opposed to "professional DB tool")
I suppose that the author ment a "professional tool" or a "professional mapping
tool" :).
As a mapping tool, I believe CayenneModeler should respect the DB order, or
supply some support for changing it (instead of the default sorting). There are
just too many cases where this order is important.
> CM: Keep original field order

> Key: CAY-910
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-910
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CayenneModeler GUI
> Affects Versions: 1.2 [STABLE], 2.0 [STABLE], 3.0
> Reporter: Thomas Bernhard
> Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
>
> Please keep the original order of fields on reverse engineering in Cayenne
> Modeler.
> It looks like some sort of alphabetical sorting is done on reverse
> engineering, without offering the user the possibility *not* to sort. I think
> this is a bug - most professional DB tools respect this original order.
> The user defined order of fields is very important, cause in many companies
> there are special code conventions and practices regarding this ordering and
> field naming. CM's "sorting" makes the work a pain - please fix this problem.
> I understand that in some cases such a "sorting" behaviour is wished, but I
> think that "sorting" should be a separate feature and it shouldn't be active
> by default. Of course another possibility would be to add a setting to CM
> Preferences : "Sort fileds", but that would be more work.
