establishing a CSV order

Please - this is really urgent...
How do you order the data when designing the form in Acrobat (LiveCyle) 8 so when it is returned and merged to a datasheet (Excel - report.csv) the order is as you need it and not in the sequence in the form. This was possible in 7 by setting ther hierarchy and using alphabetical order. This apparently doesn't work in 8. How do I make the order work the way I need the items displayed. There doesn't appear to be any logic to it but obviously I'm missing something.

Hi JohnLT4,

Can you clarify if you're using Acrobat 8 or LiveCycle Designer? Sounds like you're using the Distribute Form function in Acrobat but your question doesn't state this. Also, can you outline what you did previously in Acrobat 7 with regards to the hierarchy?

Keep us posted,
Lori
