Hi all,

Over the period of a few years, my contact list is messed up. The
fields for each entry do not match with the other. I mean: in one entry
the sequence of fields is WORK, HOME, FAX, MOBILE etc. and in the other
entry the sequence I have is: HOME, MOBILE, WORK, FAX etc. Now when I
import the CSV file, all is screwed up.

I know, I messed up. Is there a way to correct this without the manual
intervention?

TIA!

Thanks a lot! But it does not help. It still tells me to correct it
manually!

I'm afraid the simplest way would be to check if all are mismatched the
same way, then find out how they should be ordered in the CSV file, and
then write a simple text file converting app to reorder the columns, and
then import it back.
Should be about 50 lines of code.
