Sending forms results to Excel

The results of my form are being sent to _private/adult.csv. When I open
this in Excel, it isn't in the order I want. I set the tab order in the form
design, but that's not working.

My form is in a table & looks like this:
# clients # staff resigned
# staff # discipliinary

On Excel, I'd like the list to be #clients, #staff, # staff res., # disc.;
but instead the list is #clients, # staff res., #staff, # disc.

Will I need to re-do my form?

Thanks in advance.
 
Textareas will always appear last when using the FP Form Handler. You would have to use ASP, etc and
database to solve.

The "tab order" has nothing to do with the order the results are written to
the file.

The Tab order is the order that a person tabs through the actual fields in
the form - when they press the "Tab" key the cursor jumps to the next field;
the order of the 'jumping' between fields can be specified in each field's
properties.

There is a form properties option that allows you change the fields to
include when writing the data to the file, but not the order. The order of
the fields & data in the data file are determined by how you've laid out the
form in the first instance..
