Not true. Drag the fields for their title to get the desire order.

Not true. It is for select the field's order not to sort the whole pt.

Or you don't want to understand/accept how it works, because it's not what you
like.

Yes their is no other way than to rearrange columns, and sort every field.

Sorting in the order col2-col3-col1, whit columns in pt positioned as
col1,col2,col3, at least looks a few awkward.
