Hi, 

I have a dataSource with a number of fields. Is there any way to get the list of these fields, in the order specified when the datasource was created.

I know I can get the list by using dataSource.options.schema.model.fields, however the order in alphabetical and not in the order I used when I created the datasource.

Thanks!

Hello Marc,

Currently, the desired result can be achieved if the model is set using an object variable. Then that variable can be used as a list with all of the model fields in their initial state, as the variable will not be ordered alphabetically.

For example:

var fields = {
    OrderID: { type: "number" },
    Freight: { type: "number" },
    ShipName: { type: "string" },
    OrderDate: { type: "date" },
    ShipCity: { type: "string" }
}
 
......
 
  schema: {
   model: {
    fields:fields
   }
  }

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Yes this is the way I had planned to do it, but wasn't sure if there was a better way, thanks!
