Maciej Szymkiewicz commented on SPARK-12467:
--------------------------------------------

[~hyukjin.kwon] Personally I like {{namedtuple}} because it is  static type 
checker friendly. This is a huge advantage over {{Row}}. But it is just a 
preference. 

Regarding this JIRA my opinion is the same as for the other one - it is simply 
won't fix. Considering we are still committed to supporting Python 2.7, 
dropping support for <= 3.5  is at least decade away. Any other attempt to 
"fix" this will break backward compatibility and I've seen user code depending 
on sorting behavior. Finally as you said it is documented.

> Current implementation of Row's __new__ sorts columns by name
> First of all there is no obvious reason to sort, second, if one converts 
> dataframe to rdd and than back to dataframe, order of column changes. While 
> this is not  a bug, nevetheless it makes looking at the data really 
> inconvenient.
