# 3917 EXPORT TABLE Statement Not Exporting Rows in Primary Key Order

---

I have an issue wherein tables are exported to a CSV, then each is imported into a table with an identical name and structure, at a remote location. The table has a ClientID field: "ClientID" INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 0, INCREMENT BY 1) NOT NULL.

When the CSV is created, the data is not sorted in the order in which it is displayed in the table. The >50,000 record table starts at ClaimID 50014 - ClaimID #1 is at line 50015. Also, the first ~50k records are written in descending order.

Thats Ok, but when the CSV is imported, the guy from 50014 is imported as ClaimID 1. The entire CSV is loaded in the same order in which it is written to the CSV, and therefore unusable.
