Hi,

Iam using external python script to write resultset to a csv file.Splunk reading columns in alphabetical order.In my case i want to see a particular filed as first column in table.How i can make it.

eg MyResult.csv
s,b,k,a,h
this is the order of fields how my script writing resultset to the csv file

Splunk Reading like this order(alphabetical order):
a,b,h,k,s

I want splunk to read the same order how my script writing data ie(s,b,k,a,h
).Please guide me how to do this.

You can change the order of the fields that are returned using either the fields or the table command.

| inputlookup mylookup.csv | fields s,b,k,a,h
| inputlookup mylookup.csv | table s,b,k,a,h
