notion.databases.create: Is it possible to rearrange database fields according to some defined order?

Open andrewshvv opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I am trying to create a database, but I want fields of the database to be ordered a specific way. Am I correct in my assumption that because API receives a dict rather than a list of tuples the order can't be defined, at least at the stage of database creation? If so, are the any known ways of doing it?

Okay, seems like fields are ordered in the alphabetic order, so adding a prefix like 01. ... 0N. helps, but this is ugly as hell.

I wonder if this is just how Notion's API works, or if it's the JSON we send that has been reordered somehow, e.g. because of json.dumps?
