Hello,

I'm using version 8.4.3 of elastic cloud.

I have a data table with 5 butckets (split row) and 4 metrics. From what I understand, the buckets columns are always before and the metrics columns are after. I would like to know if it is possible to order the columns regardless of whether they are metrics or buckets.

Hi @karlanakamura ,

no that is not currently possible at the moment.  
I've opened a new issue to discuss the feature at least in Lens: [[Lens] Ability to order columns in datatable · Issue #147600 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/147600)
