A customer has us to build a form, with which the returned data will be exported to a .csv file,
this is not a problem, but when we open the exported file all the cells are in a different order
to the order on the forms, does it not just follow the tab order.

thanks

I believe the order of the columns is the alphabetical order of the field names.

If you want them to be placed into a columns in a specific order and the columns have the same name as the fileds, look at using the ADBC object.
