DB Connect 3 ignoring column order in SELECT statement

Since updating to DB Connect v3 columns are being returned in lexicographical order rather than the order specified in the SELECT statement.

E.g. SELECT Plan, ISP, count() now returns ISP, Plan, count(). The order per the SELECT command was correct in v2.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Fields and Table Splunk commands are obviously workarounds for now but we'd prefer not to have to select the order twice.

Yes, I have 35 columns from the query. Cannot reorder again. Any workarounds for this?

Only workaround idea I have is to use the table command to sort the columns (e.g. | table Plan, ISP, count(*) )

But I agree it would be great if that can get fixed and work as it used to work within v2
