# configure_columns_order

> Configures the order of columns (filters) in the Graph and Details sections. 

By default the order is identical to that in the input dataset.

If only a subset of columns is specified here, the rest will maintain the original order.

## Usage

The following examples show how the step can be used in a recipe.

<Accordion title="Examples" icon="code" defaultOpen="true">
  <Tabs>
    <Tab title="Example 1">
      First cross filters: bio, age and deparment

      ```stan theme={null}
      configure_columns_order(ds.bio, ds.salary, ds.age, ds.department)
      ```
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Example 2">
      First columns in data table: bio, age and deparment

      ```stan theme={null}
      configure_columns_order(ds.bio, ds.salary, ds.age, ds.department, { "for": "dataTable" })
      ```
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Signature">
      General syntax for using the step in a recipe. Shows the inputs and outputs the step is expected to receive and will produce respectively. For futher details see sections below.

      ```stan theme={null}
      configure_columns_order(*columns: column, {
          "param": value,
          ...
      })
      ```
    </Tab>
  </Tabs>
</Accordion>

## Inputs & Outputs

The following are the inputs expected by the step and the outputs it produces. These are generally
columns (`ds.first_name`), datasets (`ds` or `ds[["first_name", "last_name"]]`) or models (referenced
by name e.g. `"churn-clf"`).

<Accordion title="Inputs" icon="right-to-bracket">
  <ParamField path="*columns" type="column" />
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Outputs" icon="right-from-bracket" />

## Configuration

The following parameters can be used to configure the behaviour of the step by including them in
a json object as the last "input" to the step, i.e. `step(..., {"param": "value", ...}) -> (output)`.

<Accordion title="Parameters" defaultOpen="true" icon="sliders">
  <ParamField path="for" type="string">
    Given order applies to data table or cross filter (cross filter when none).

    Values must be one of the following:

    * `dataTable`
    * `crossFilter`
  </ParamField>
