How can I get the report list to show up in the same order as the source data instead of alphabetical?

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Page Properties Macro

How can I get the report list to show up in the same order as the source data instead of alphabetical?

If manual setting is an option use  the param 'Columns to show' (in the macro display options of the Page Properties Report macro) for sorting the order of the columns. When you add all the column headers in the required order there, the table is displayed accordingly. (At least this works in 5.8.5 on Server)

(But of course it would be great if Atlassian could implement this as the default.)
