Should CSV respect DTO DataMember Order value?

When serializing a DTO to CSV using .ToCSV() extension is it possible to specify the field order via the DataMemberAttribute Order property?

    [DataMember(Order = 0)]
    public string AGENT_REF { get; set; }

    [DataMember(Order = 1)]
    public string ADDRESS_1 { get; set; }

    // snipped

    [DataMember(IsRequired = true, Order = 6)]
    [StringLength(10)]
    public string POSTCODE2 { get; set; }

    [DataMember(IsRequired = true, Order = 7)]
    public string FEATURE1 { get; set; }

    [DataMember(IsRequired = true, Order = 8)]
    public string FEATURE2 { get; set; }

Currently values are serialized in order configured by ‘TypeConfig’ Init() method:

Not sure if this use case is (or can be) supported?

No it’s not possible, it should serialize in the order that the properties are defined, i.e. that comes back from Type.GetPropoerties()/GetFields(). Otherwise you can submit a feature request for it.
