Description of problem:Under Export Observations, there are now two sets of Observation Fields, #1 Observation Fields and #2 Observation Fields for Projects. Before this change there was only #1. The fields in the downloaded spreadsheet were in same order as the fields listing on the export page. Now with the change, #1 fields are scrambled and #2 fields are in the original order. Regardless of which I use for the download, the fields are scrambled on the spreadsheet. This makes these downloads incompatible with older downloads, necessitating rearranging the new spreadsheet columns, which, especially with a lot of data, is annoying and rather time consuming. Can you revert back to the how the original downloads worked?

I’ve noticed the same, it’s extremely frustrating. Curating project data takes so much longer now. My project is Caterpillar Rearing Group and I’m using Brave browser.
