It would be helpful if Modeler presented columns in the order they are defined in the database. Because: * More often than not, related columns are grouped together, particularly if they form multi-field foreign keys. * Also, in tables with very many columns, it is easier to map database information to Modeler information if the orders are the same: even if finding the columns is easy from an alphabetically-sorted list, it is an additional step in some alrady pretty complicated mental exercizes. * Finally, I find myself working more with database order than alphabetic order when working with Oracle in SQL Developer. Even though the ERP system we're using has its columns ordered alphabetically.
It would be even more helpful if Modeler offered a way to switch between database order and alphabetic order. Because: * Sometimes (rarely), I don't find the column even though I know the column structure. For these situations, it would be perfect if when switching from alphabetic to database order, the currently selected column stayed selected and the list scrolled to it. I know that's a set of wishlist items, and, as such, subject to developer time constraints :-) Regards, Jo
