Retaining the order of varaibles #130

Hi,

Thank you so much for developing such a great package!

I am trying to use your package to create a descriptive statistics table for academic purposes.

One issue I am running up into is that creating the descriptive table using desr() re-orders the original variables alphabetically. However, I would like it to retain the column ordering in the original table.

Am I missing some obvious way of retaining that order or is this functionality not available? If not, please consider adding it since it would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Retaining order is possible is the upcoming version, which you can already install using either remotes:: or devtools::install_github("dcomtois/summarytools")

Best
