decap-cms-config.yml loses order of fields array

[pleasantone]

collection fields is an array, but we're losing order in the array. This makes an unusable editor because the body section isn't output correctly.

See the input file where "title" is first and "body" is last...

config/_default/params.yaml:

decap_cms:
  media_folder: assets/images/uploads
  public_folder: /images/uploads
  display_url: https://example.com/
  search: true
  collections:
    event:
      name: events
      label: Events
      label_singular: Event
      description: Upcoming events
      folder: content/events
      create: true
      media_folder: ''
      public_folder: ''
      slug: "{{year}}-{{slug}}"
      fields:
        - {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
        - {label: "Publish Date", name: "publishDate", widget: "datetime"}
        - {label: "Event Date", name: "date", widget: "datetime"}
        - {label: "Expiry Date", name: "expiryDate", widget: "datetime", required: false}
        - {label: "Draft article", name: "draft", widget: "boolean", default: false}
        - {label: "Do not list in index", name: "noindex", widget: "boolean", default: false, required: false}
        - {label: "Feature this article", name: "featured", widget: "boolean", default: false, required: false}
        - {label: "Pinned", name: "pinned", widget: "boolean", default: false, required: false}
        - {label: "Allow comments", name: "comments", widget: "boolean", default: true, required: false}
        - {label: "Intro Blurb", name: "description", widget: "text"}
        - {label: "Authors", name: "authors", widget: "list", default: ["ich", "paul"]}
        - {label: "Area tags", name: "tags", widget: "list", default: ["north-bay", "south-bay", "east-bay", "sierras", "norcal", "socal", "mexico"]}
        - {label: "Featured Images", name: "images", widget: "list", choose_url: false, media_folder: ""}
        - {label: "GPX file", name: "gpxfile", widget: "file", media_folder: "", required: false}
        - {label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown"}

The generated public/decap-cms-config.yaml sorts the fields by name, notice "author" followed by "body" ...

Which version of this module do you use? I will check this later.

Should be fixed since v0.8.1.
