Description

pipeline.apply(Select.fieldNames("x", "y"))

pipeline.apply(Select.fieldNames("a", "b"))

The returned output order is not predictable. In the above two examples, field `x` may return first, while field `a` (also queries in the first place) may return in the second place.  

 

Shall we add `withOrderByFieldInsertionOrder` to fieldAccessDescriptor in Select PTransform, so that the return order is predictable?
