Form data export column order ?

When I create a form in Acrobat 9 then export the data into a spread sheet .csv file the data columns always export in alphabetical order by the name of the field. I would like to customize the order in which the columns appear in the spread sheet. I have tried everything I can think of to modify this order, including altering the tab order and nothing works. Short of simply putting a's in front of the name of the first data field/column and b's in front of the 2nd ield/column etc. Is there a way I can alter this data export column sequence with less keystrokes ?

It's possible to create a script that will export the data from your form fields in any order you'd like.
