felipecrv opened a new issue, #37148: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/37148
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. The `enum type` in C++ leaves the integer values implicitly defined and let the compiler assign the values to them automatically. This means an insertion of a new entry that is not a the end, causes implementations that rely on specific values (like R) to break with confusing error messages [1]. Assigning the values explicitly can communicate that these enum entry values are relied upon and can allow a more natural ordering of the list that is different from the numeric order the entries receive.
