ReOrdering Tables in Join Visual Recipies

tgb417

User Story

As an Analyst using Dataiku DSS with a very wide dataset made from more that 5-6 source tables. When specifying Joins and Selected columns, I'd like to be able to re-order the list of tables. This would allow better gross organization of resulting column names.

COS:

• This should work smoothly with the primary databases supported by Dataiku DSS.
• When reordering Join Relationships and Select Columns should not change. This is just about the gross re-ordering of columns produced by the Join Recipe.

Nice to Have:

• Re-Ordering can be done in either the Join of Selected columns area. However, being limited to just one would also work. (Not clear if I prefer doing this in Join or Selected columns.)
• It would be nice if the interface of this was just dragging the table headers, in sort of the way that some spreadsheets allow one to re-order columns by dragging the column header.

Notes:

Today to re-order in this way you have to break the join and re-create and reselect columns, or even start from scratch. Because this is painful, the tendency to to add another visual prepare recipe. This is not good for overall performance.
