Update: This issue has been confirmed by Looker and was unintentionally caused by v24.0. A ticket has been opened with the engineering team.

Hello All - we've used the leading spaces technique for ordering the fields in our explores for quite some time. We've put these spaces in the group_item_label without issue, until today, when I noticed the ordering reverted back to alphabetical order based on the label field.
If I add the leading spaces to the label field, it still works, but doing that across all our explores will be a significant amount of rework.
Anyone else seeing this sudden change in behavior?
Solved! Go to Solution.
We noticed on 3/28/24 that Looker had resolved the field ordering issue on our instance. Hopefully everyone else has seen the same.
