Form "results" out of order

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, and I don't know anything about CGI, but saw a lot of search results for forms come up in this forum.

I have a form on a site, that when submitted and received as an email, the elements are all out of order. Instead of "question 1, 2, 3, 4" etc., they come in as 2,4,3,1 or whatever. There is surely an easy fix, but as I said, I'm just not familiar with programming.

Thanks in advance...

I know that for the webmailer.exe there is a parameter called "sortorder" in which you specify fields by name, separated by commas, for the value.

Something like this:

<input type="hidden" name="sortorder" value="Name, Email, Address, Comments">

That's unusual - that sounds like an issue with the form to mail script. The mail is written by some server side code that will format the mail. Whatever order that this is written out in is the way that it will appear in your email...
