The additional option "schema" can be used to supply fields and (optionally) columns in a JSON Table Schema . The schema is a JSON file or HASH reference having the following structure: { "fields: [ { "name": "field-name-1", "title": "column title 1 (optional)" }, { "name": "field-name-2", "title": "column title 2 (optional)" }, ... ] } Without "fields" or "schema", columns are sorted alphabetically by field name.
