Visual Query Builder - Keep Layout after Save

This is a particular pet peeve of mine but I think it would tremendously beneficial.  I would love to see Alteryx hold the layout created in the visual query builder.  

There are situations where I have multiple tables from which I am joining.  when I leave this scree, the format changes back to a standard layout.  It takes valuable time to pull this apart so I can see what I am working on.

@JohnMaty - I fully agree with you.

 

The other thing that makes me somewhat tense is when all the work you do to structure the SQL query into a readable form gets thrown away when you change tabs.    

 

For example - SQL queries in our team are always formatted

 

Select

     <field A>

     <Field B>

From

     <tables and joins>

where 

     <where clauses>

Additionally consider, making SQL keywords a different color.
