I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
import pandas as pd on = [f"col_{x}" for x in range(5)] columns1 = ["col_0", "col_1", "col_2", "col_3", "col_4", "col_5"] columns2 = ["col_0", "col_1", "col_2", "col_3", "col_4", "col_6", "col_7"] last_wide_df = pd.DataFrame([[0] * 6], columns=columns1) last_pivot_df = pd.DataFrame([[0] * 7], columns=columns2) print(pd.merge(last_wide_df, last_pivot_df, on=on).columns) # 1st case print(pd.merge(last_wide_df[:0], last_pivot_df[:0], on=on).columns) # 2nd caseIssue Description
The column order is different in these two cases:
Index(['col_0', 'col_1', 'col_2', 'col_3', 'col_4', 'col_5', 'col_6', 'col_7'], dtype='object')
Index(['col_5', 'col_0', 'col_1', 'col_2', 'col_3', 'col_4', 'col_6', 'col_7'], dtype='object')
Expected Behavior
I believe that the order of the columns should be the same in these two cases.
