Changing Field Order

[PiedPiper]

I have dragged some added fields up into their proper place. I want my file to keep this order, but when I import (and the new import records have these fields in the correct place), the fields again appear at the bottom. I tried saving a clone once I had my fields in the right order, but that doesn't work either. I even tried exporting one record - thinking it would keep the correct order (as FM file) but it doesn't - it keeps putting them at the end.

There must be something simple I'm missing. Any ideas how to get this new field order to stick? Thanks for helping ...
