Description Alex Ander 2018-12-23 16:53:20 UTC
When I insert a data from data base as a table, I would like to change the order of inserted columns. It could be done in the dialog, where I choose columns to insert.

@Xisco Faulí, it's not a bug, it's a suggestion, my wish :)
to reproduce:
1) create a simple table in LO Base, say "table1" with columns "col1", "col2", "col3", "col4", "col5" as varchar(50) (type doesn't matter)
2) fill it with some random sample data, save them, close.
3) open LO Writer, create new empty document
4) open Data Sources, find "table1"
5) in the "table1" select all data, click "Data to Text"
6) choose "Insert data as (*)Table"
6) now you see the dialog I mentioned in the description. I would like to have buttons "up" and "down", which let me move chosen column on the right side, so I could change the order.

I forgot to insert step after "6)": 
7) click button "All to right", so you have chosen columns. 

And the last step will become "8)"
