SAS: PROC CONTENTS list variables in order created

I have often been annoyed that SAS' PROC CONTENTS lists variables in alphabetical order rather than the order in which they appear in the dataset.  Turns out there is an option, varnum, which causes the variables to be listed in my preferred order.  Here's some sample code:

    * Demo varnum option on PROC CONTENTS ;
    data work.kids;
    input name $ age gender $;
    datalines;
    Kamina 6 F
    Raelani 4 F
    Elliott 1 M
    ;
    run;

    proc contents data=work.kids;
    run;

    proc contents data=work.kids varnum;
    run;

And some (truncated) output...
