@rayar as per the doc for output command, it adds the _time field to the front.

if you want to have the strict order, here is a workaround:

| rename cn1 as "Duration (sec)", FIRST_NAME as "First Name", LAST_NAME as "Last Name"
| search "First Name"="" AND "Last Name"=""
| eval time = strftime(_time, "%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S")
| fields USER_ID duser "First Name" "Last Name" Duration "Duration (sec)" time
| outputcsv vpn_data.csv
