Answer

It's not possible to set a preferred column order when we sync data to your destination. However, you can ensure the column order in your destination matches your source by doing either of the following:

1. Create a view on top of your destination table, arranging the columns to match your source.
2. Utilize our Transformations for dbt Core solution to directly re-arrange the columns in your destination table.
