Export-import field order differences was created by Keith
I've found that the field order of the exported subscriber data is different from the field order of that data in the Subscriber screen.
When I export to a csv to make changes in the data then import the csv back I get the fields in a different order.Please see the last three records in the attached files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Keith

Hi again Keith.
I can see the problem in your screenshot, but I was unable to replicate it.
The import / export functionality ignores the extra field ordering. They are exported and imported in the order in which they were created. (by ID)
Was the file edited at all when exported? If you export and directly re-import these subscribers, is this what you get?
If yes, could you please send me a temporary admin account at me@mavrosxristoforos.com?
Thanks again.

I get it. The fields are exported and imported in the order they were created, by ID.
That's what I needed to know.
What I'm doing is importing subscribers with only the name field. I then split the name into name and first name, reorder the columns (fields) to match the NS Pro order and import.
Works perfectly.
I didn't need the extra fields and that confused the issue but if I need them in the future I'll know what to do.
Again, thanks.

Thank you Keith.
I understand.
When I made the import/export process, I thought that the simplest way to maintain compatibility with older exported files is to leave them in their "default" order, which is by ID.
I'm glad it works for you now.
Thanks again!
