I am working with the cable schedule as exported and I'm confused by the column order.

The columns have the equipment that the cable goes 'to' listed first, then the cable info, which is in the correct from>to order, then the hardware info for the 'from'.

In other words, on my drawing from left to right I have a pc, a cable, and a matrix switch. I have edited the cable attributes so it says from = pc and to = switch.

I drew the cable from left to right, and the cable arrow when set to "end" is at the matrix switch, indicating that the cable is drawn correctly.

But the columns in excel list the matrix hardware details, then the cable details, then the source pc details from left to right.

It should be source details, cable details, destination details, ie, From, cable, to...

Is this a bug, an error in my understanding, or some sort of feature that is not obvious to me?

This means I'll have to do a ton of manual editing in Excel to get it to read logically from Source to destination.

Also, the column headings for the cable should have the word 'cable' in them, ie. "cable manufacturer", "cable model number" otherwise, there are 3 columns all called 'manufacturer'.
