Getting Data In

Order of fields in json java

For java sdk, output mode as json, I am getting fields sent from splunk and their values as json. But how ever is the order of fields in the table statement
| table field1, field2
or
| table field2, field1

The order of fields I get in the java side is the same - and i need the order the same way as I has specified in the query after table
What should be done to get this way

It should honor the fields specified in the query string after the table keyword. If possible, try to run the query through cURL and see whether you get the desired results. Nonetheless, you can pass the list of fields explicitly to the getResults method on the job, once its done.

JobResultsArgs resultArgs = new JobResultsArgs();
resultArgs.setFieldList(new String[] {"field1", "field2"});
InputStream results = job.getResults(resultArgs);

Yes the order in java is different from what I specify in query after table keyword. Also FYI I am using output mode as json in java side to get details from plunk

I am not sure what the problem is. Can you clarify further? Is the order in Java different from what your query is specifying after the table keyword?
