Strange behavior on Smart List exports to Excel - Columns changing order

Is anyone else seeing this:

When exporting a Smart Lists (Visible Columns, Comma Separated Values), I've been seeing the columns re-ordered alphabetically, beginning yesterday.

Before yesterday, the exported spreadsheet would always maintain the same order as my view in Marketo--for example, my default view is First Name in the first column, Last Name in the 2nd column, Job Title in the third, company name in the 4th, etc.  My exported spreadsheets were always displayed in the same order.

The last two days I've been exporting lists, and finding that the columns are now ordered alpahbetically:  Address, Address2, Annual Revenue, City, Company Name  etc. 

This appear to be only happening for newly created smart lists, or any smart lists for which I modified the filters. Any pre-existing smart list,continues to export in the same sequence as the Marketo view.  

Also, this doesn't seem to be happening on static lists.

Is there some setting that I'm missing?

Just confirmed on my end what you're describing above Steve. Old lists export normally but any new/updated lists are exporting with columns automatically sorted A-Z.
