title: Splunk: column order of csv
body: <p>I am taking over a Splunk system and need to reverse-engineer a csv file input to a particular index. However, I don't know how to clearly discern the column order of the original file, because Splunk always displays fields in alphabetical order. </p>
  
  <p>Does it matter if the column order of the input file changes? I'm new to Splunk and it appears to be super-smart, but is it smart enough to detect if I changed the order of the csv columns?</p>
