Unexpected order of properties in response

[marceloverdijk]

I noticed having a query like:

query MyQuery {
  countries(first:100) {
    totalCount
    nodes {
      code
      name
      continent {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

the response is:

{
  "data": {
    "countries": {
      "totalCount": 249,
      "nodes": [
        {
          "name": "Afghanistan",
          "code": "AF",
          "continent": {
            "name": "Asia"
          }
        },
        {
          "name": "Åland Islands",
          "code": "AX",
          "continent": {
            "name": "Europe"
          }
        },
  ..

In the response I would expect the order of the fields in the same order as requested.

But in the response the name field is before the code field.

This is quite annoying when testing an server, or even thinking about exposing a GraphQL service to (semi) business people that e.g. before used SQL to query data.

Is this something that can be configured?

Bump. Note that is quite an annoying issue when running GraphQL queries during a demo.

As per the GraphQL spec the order of the requested fields should be preserved in the returned result:
