🚀 Order fields in I/O #395

User Story

As a user reviewing networks I'd like the output network files to have columns ordered in a predictable and sensible manner so I know where to find them

@RachelWikenMC can you LMK if the current ordering based on the data model order meets your needs? or if you would like a different ordering?

If the latter, then it would be awesome if we could implement it in the data model (just-reordering that) rather than having to specify it explicitly.

that list under data model order isn't all the variables I'm expecting to see. I'm not fussy on this topic as long as we keep like variables grouped - so A and B at top, drive,walk, bike access all together and walk/bike values close to that. AssignGroup and RCnum close together, and Managed, MNPASS_PAY and MNPASS_CODE together. So that when I'm checking network variables on a single topic (like HOV facilities for example) my eyes don't have to jump around in the variable list. The output in Version 1 does not keep like variables grouped. I'm find to reorder in data model and not add as specific output code in the notebook.
