# Table column order not saving when adding new column

 * I have been working on a large table and am having a problem with adding additional
   columns. I am using a Google Sheet / CSV as the source data. When I click the“
   Edit table settings” section on the Table Rows tab, several of my active columns
   are unchecked. When checking them again, and checking the new column as well,
   then clicking save, the order of columns jumbles and I have to drag and drop 
   each one to get the column order back the way I need it. Any ideas on how to 
   prevent this? I don’t understand the order it’s using as it doesn’t even match
   the order in the Google Sheet. Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Hello [@brchiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brchiz/),
 * Our sincerest apology for being delayed to respond. We always recommend opening
   a support ticket to get a fast reply.
 * When a new column is added to the Google Sheet and it needs to fetch the column
   from the Ninja Table and each time you click on the ‘Fetch Columns’ button in
   the table, it loads all the columns according to the Sheet that’s why the column
   sorting changes in the table. This is quite normal that when you try to retrieve
   columns by clicking on the button from the table, it takes the columns from the
   sheet and sorts them exactly like google sheet.
 * The columns in the google sheet can be sorted by drag and drop so I recommend
   instead of sorting the columns from the table, you should sort the columns from
   the sheet as you wish.
 * If you still facing issues, please open a ticket here: [https://wpmanageninja.com/support-tickets/](https://wpmanageninja.com/support-tickets/)

 * Thanks
