Sending Row from Report - Selecting Columns
I want to use the 'Send Row' function as a confirmation to clients that certain tasks were completed. The Report includes about half the columns from the Referenced Sheet, but I only want to send 4 or 5 columns and no attachments with these confirmations. So I clicked the "Edit" button to deselect the columns, and I ran into an interesting issue: the order of the columns is pretty frusterating. It is not alphabetical, they are not in the order they apear in the report, nor are they in the order the columns appear on the referenced sheet...
It seems trivial, but if our PM's have to send 10 different confirmations, and they have to scroll through 50 columns that have no rhyme or reason, it is time consuming.

Hi Christopher—
Reports are different from sheets in that they don't get a lot of metadata and there isn't quite the same logic (or any logic, sometimes) as you would find in a sheet.
I've got your vote down on our enhancement request list for logic to order the column names in some way, such as alphabetically.

Thank you sir.
