Hello Stef,
Thank you for the informative reply. I have logged a feature request here: https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/162/Feedback/Details/203030-improved-listing-of-data-source-components-added-to-the-report
In my report, the data source components are not consistently listed in the in the order of appearance. Most of them maybe, but there are several exceptions and I do not see any pattern of when exceptions occur.
All my data source components take several parameters, which are individual to each object. It is a key point that it is possible to maintain these parameters within the Report Designer, not having to do custom programming on the back end API (exposing Business Objects)
