Splunk Search

Search with output_mode=csv ends up reordering the table command output.

I am doing something like this:
[ignore some syntax issues]

curl ... https://..../search/jobs/export -d 'search=search index=xyz ... | table Fld1 Fld2' -d output_mode=csv

Expected output (as given to table command) is:
Fld1,Fl2
123,abc

Actual output is
Fld2,Fld1
abc ,123

Any idea why it is getting re-ordered and how can I get it in the format I want?

I ran into a similar issue... Ended up using .... | table field1 field2 | outputcsv foo.csv and it corrected the problem.
