Hi there,

I'm uploading a BQuery table to GSheet using upload_table_to_gsheet.

Hi @armetiz.

Thanks a lot for opening this issue.

I had a look and could reproduce what you described.

After investigation, this is because:

• this procedure converts the table data into a json before sending it to upload_to_gsheet function.
• BigQuery json conversion reorders the fields alpabetically as seen in the following screenshot.

Then the only other way would be to generate a json string without passing by json and change upload_to_gsheet function signature to accept string instead of json as data.

Or maybe you have another suggestion?
