    Export field order changing when you save

    I am setting up a long and moderately complicated export that I have had to check and tweek a little after export. Now I see that the order of my export fields are changing after I save and close so the next time I run the export the address lines are mixed up for example. I put them back in order, save and close and then reopen and they are mixed up again! Reordering and running the export doesn't work either, it just puts them in the order it wants as it exports. CryingThe knowledgebase solution tells me to recreate my export parameters. I have over 100 fields in this export (it is for our alumni directory) I don't want to recreate it several times.

    I have noticed this little quirk before but the export was smaller and easier to recreate. Anyone else encounter this and have you found a way to fix it?

     Thanks for your help.

    Lisa

    Hey Lisa,

    I know it's not ideal, but the best thing you can do right now is recreate the export parameters like it says in BB386420, which sounds like the solution you found.
