Column order in Db2 dashboard in z/OSMF plugin

 

The WEB-API Dashboard Summaries for DB2 show different column orders. Also Tablespace name is omitted on Totals and Unjournaled overview. 

Db2 Tables Total shows:                                                 Table name | Table Type | Creator | Database Name
Db2 Tables without Backup shows:                              Table name | Table Type | Creator | Tablespace Name | Database Name | Status
Db2 Tables with Backups older than 7 days shows: Table name | Table Type | Creator | Database Name | Backup TSP | Tablespace Name | Backup DSN | Unit | Backup Type
Unjournaled Db2 tables shows:                                    Table name | Table Type | Creator | Database Name

This should be more unified on the different overviews. 

As for the order of columns, the path to define or look for a table is Database > Tablespace > Table. Assuming "Creator" column applies to the table (because this can be different for tablespace and database), a more logical order would be: 
Database Name | Tablespace Name | Table name | Creator (or owner) | Table Type | Status (followed by Backup TSP | Backup DSN | Unit | Backup Type for the older than 7 days overview) 
This will make it easier for an end-uder to view/search it's tables within it's database(s).
