At least as an option, allow fields to be ordered the same as the source query rather than alphabetical. This way they can be put in a logical and consistent order.
Obviously, a workaround is to prefix each column name with a number but this is clunky, unattractive and a pain if the columns change often.

RE: Customize fields list ordering
Great Idea, and possibly to group fields together as well?
RE: Customize fields list ordering
When looking at the tables in the Relationships window - and to make new relationships - it would really help to show the fields in alphabetical order. It feels like I'm always going on a scavenger hunt when I'm trying to find a field because I have to scroll thru the entire list looking for it. This can be challenging and time consuming, especially with large tables. Thanks!
RE: Customize fields list ordering
Currently if you set the "Default Field Set" field order in an SSAS Tabular model, it is not utilized by Power BI in the Fields pane. It still only sorts alphabetically.

can you order variables in fields section as imported from Excel

Found a related idea: "Display field names in database, not alpha, order"
RE: Customize fields list ordering
The task pane displays database fields in alphabetical order. Please allow the field list to be displayed in original, or database defined order.
