This might have already been answered, but relying on the DB order is
inherently difficult. Take MySQL, for example, you can add/alter a
column and move it's order around in the table. I wouldn't expect
Cayenne (or any other tool) to be able to keep up with these
behind-the-scenes shifts. To me, alphabetical is the only ordering that
makes any sense (outside of perhaps ordered by time). Random should not
be an order. :-)

IMHO it should follow the order of the DB Fields. This makes more sense
to
me and it's more predictable.
Even in RoR this approach is used (with a DB Tool one is changing the
order
of the DB columns and in the UI the order is there).
To be sincere, alphabetic order makes no sense to me.
Are there any plans to follow the order or the DB Fields?
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed.
