Hi Pankaj,

You can extend the 'Collection Manipulation' business object by creating a new action named 'Set Column Order' and pass two input arguments, 'Original Collection' (Collection) and 'Column Order Collection' (Collection) having a single column called 'Column Name' of text data type. Based on the order of how you set up all the column names in each row from top to bottom, the columns will get rearranged in the Original Collection. Also set an Output parameter as 'Output Collection' (Collection) for this action as shown below:

Add the code stage and use the below code with the input and out arguments as show:

dim i as Integer

i=0

For Each dr as DataRow in col_order_DT.Rows
	origDT.Columns(""+dr(0).ToString()+"").SetOrdinal(i)
	i=i+1
Next

ordered_coll=origDT

The run results are as follows:

Input Arguments:

Since, here I have maintained the order of column names  (Top To Bottom) as Field3, Field2,Field4 and Field1 hence my output collection will also have the same order

Output Result:

You can publish the action and test the same from Process Studio. Let us know if this helps you out 🙂
