vt71: Another Report Regression Bug (Fields not keeping column order)

A customer we recently migrated to version 7.1.1 reports the following issue (apparently this only happens with the Opportunity module but I have not tested elsewhere). I can reproduce this in a clean v7.1.1 system.

  1. Create a Report using Organisations as the Primary module and Opportunities as the secondary
  2. Use some fields from both Organisation and Opportunity modules and note the order you arrange them in
  3. Generate your report
  4. Click Customise Report and re-order the fields some way
  5. Click Save and Generate Report and note the report displays the results in the order you just set
  6. Now click Customise Report again, and go to the second screen showing the field columns - their order has gone back to how they were before.

This is a regression which didn't occur in vtiger 6 and in-combination with #1075 (closed) and #1076 (closed) is very annoying.
