    Firstly thanks for the 1.8 update. I was testing the email to csv functionality. What defines the sequence in which records are exported. It looks like it is in contact alphabetic order. I would like to have it in the same sequence as the records were created. Is there a way that I can add a field that will sort them in created sequence. Is there an auto increment a field or a date created field ? Form entry id does not appear to be sequential

    Hello Ivan,

    The form_entry_id field is completely random, so it wouldn’t be sorted by that. I do have an internal date created field which I can certainly pre-sort the records by before doing an export. In fact, I really just need to expose that field so people can view it along with their records.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    I know adding the date created field to the interface has some complexity but could you just include the data in every export like you do with form_entry_id ? Could you possibly include it in your 1.8.1 update ?????
