I would like the ability to reorder fields in the actual table of the Feature Service (more than just visualization). Visualizations work well for most purposes (seeing it on a map, use in dashboards, etc.).

The use scenario: I have a form I developed in Survey123 Connect. The data from this form is exported to a spreadsheet for further processing.  The order of fields in that exported spreadsheet are important, so I designed the form to have the fields in a certain order, published the form, then redesigned the form to match field workflow. After republishing, the columns on the spreadsheet are in the same order they were originally (as designed and expected).  Now, I need to add an additional column to the spreadsheet. When I add a field through AGOL or Survey123 Connect, the field adds to the end of the spreadsheet. Since the service is already published, this is to the "right" of several system fields (Collection Date, etc.). The columns in the spreadsheet then need to be reordered before further processing, adding a step (and potential errors) into the process.

Thank you for your consideration. 

Community, if you like this idea, give it a thumb up so we can tell the ESRI team we need this. Even better, add your own use case.  Thanks.
