Description
There are many cases where sorting the columns alphabetically is considered an unwanted manipulation of the raw data. For example, certain types of marketing raw data group the columns by category such as campaign attributes, different types of conversions, look-back windows etc.
I added a new environment variable
REDASH_SCHEMAS_SORT_COLUMNS
(set toTrue
by default) to switch the column sorting on/off.How is this tested?
