You can use our KINAMU Reporter. The basic edition is free and allows you to select fields flexibly, rearrange them as you like and export them to csv.

you need to override create_export_query from the contacts or any other module and select fields in the order you desire. Rest should be working out of box.

Thanks for the reply...

I have done changes in create_export_query in contacts module...but there is no change in the order of fields in export file. If I give at-least five fields to export...it is not coming in the order which I give...

So hows this thing possible.....suggest me....

Thanks......

create_export_query is defined in modules/<modulename>/<module>.php, e.g. modules/Contacts/Contact.php

Thanks for the reply...

I have done changes in the same file which I need in the contacts...but there is no change in the export file fields order.....

If I have given any random fields to export, It is giving the order of its own....

Please any one place the code of contact.php which the export fields order will be the same as we give.

Suggestions please.......
