In the new 2017.3 Release that is currently in Preview, we will have the ability to reorder and resize columns in a list, view, report, etc. It would be nice if the export feature (any format) used WYSIWYG, so that when you export something it is an exact representation of what you see in the UI, instead of exporting in the original/default format for that view.
The following is an excerpt from the documentation related to this feature:
I also did a quick test in Preview today just to double check and the temporary reorder / resizing is not maintained. Sure would be nice if it was!
