Schema field Order is alphabetical, instead of using Marshmallow's order

[mkmoisen]

In Marshmallow, you can order the fields by using class Meta: ordered = True, like:

class FooSchema(Schema):
    b = fields.Int()
    a = fields.int()
    class Meta:
        ordered = True

for k in FooSchema.fields():
    print(k)

This will output:

b
a

However, the schema generated by apispec ordered the fields alphabetically.

Shouldn't it default to Marshmallow's natural order?

Is there any workaround to get the fields ordered correctly?

Thank you.

apispec respects schema order.

You may want to double-check your code doesn't force alphabetical order (for instance, by default, Flask sorts keys when serializing json).
