How to achieve grouping the results using field present inside a json array?

I have below format log messages. At the end I want to group the messages by BID.

{
"details" : [
{
"BID" : "123"
},
{
"BID" :  "456"
}
]
}

These BIDs correspond to some static fields which describe what BID is. Like BID :  123 corresponds to Apple. This detail/description is however not present in the events or search results. The mappings are present in the lookup.csv file with BID and description as 2 columns, which I am using for lookup. But the description is field is getting displayed at the end rather than after/before the BID. I want to show the below expected output but its showing the below actual output. 

Expected Output

Description BID  Count
Apple       123  4
Orange      456  3

 

Actual Output

BID  Count Description
123  4      Apple       
456  3      Orange      

 

I am using below query, Is there any way to achieve the expected output? 

MY_SEARCH
| spath 
| rename "details{}.BID" as BID
| stats count as Count by BID
| lookup lookup.csv BID as BID OUTPUT description as description

You can use the "table" command to order your output fields. For example, add this to the bottom of your query.

| table Description BID Count
