Hello,

Is it possible to change the markers column order when exporting tracking data to csv file.

In the example below the marker 2 columns appear before marker 1 columns in the csv file, although the marker 1 appears first in the label list:

Marker Marker Marker Marker Marker Marker

MarkerSet:2 MarkerSet:2 MarkerSet:2 MarkerSet:1 MarkerSet:1 MarkerSet:1

8392B20CF49E35712F3F00000001 8392B20CF49E35712F3F00000001

8392B20CF49E35712F3F00000001 8392B20CF49E35712F3F00000000

8392B20CF49E35712F3F00000000 8392B20CF49E35712F3F00000000

Position Position Position Position Position Position

X Y Z X Y Z

-0.082041 0.578801 -0.001061 0.205970 0.574661 0.013776

Thank you.

Hello spla5279,

Thank you for reaching out to the community regarding this.

Unfortunately, with the way Motive works we currently have some limitations in how much we can control the marker order at export. This is a bit more complicated than this, but essentially it is a technical limitation in which the export order is influenced by when (what order) the markers were first constructed.

For the time being, there is nothing you could do in Motive to change this. The CSV format is easy enough to read, however, that it should be possible to develop a workflow or application on your end to deal with the ordering. I agree this is not the best solution, and I will continue to push for improvements in the export order.

Best,
Steven
