Exporting query results or a dataset mangles the field order #612

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the SQL query page to painstakingly build a query giving you the fields 
you want in the order in which you'd like to see them - or alternatively, view 
a previously saved dataset.
2. Export the results as a CSV file
3. View the resulting file. Observe that the fields are not in the order they 
appeared in the ORDS interface.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I can't quite work out what (if any) rationale is behind the reordering of the 
fields - they don't seem to be alphabetical, or grouped by table, or anything 
at all logical. If you've designed your query to put the fields in an order 
that makes sense to you, it's tiresome to find that work undone by the export 
process.
