Column order is important for a few of the tables I work with and switching my users from their (database-defined) order to alphabetical caused a little shellshock. Essentially, getting this functionality will be the last part of our migration from a different feature server package.
How it works
We add an environment variable TIPG_SORT_COLUMNS (which defaults to True). Set it to False to disable sorting of columns. It's essentially trivial code, plus accompanying docs and Settings model updates.

Let me know if I need to add anything else here.
