Comments.Text: Are you saying that when you look at Contact ID 27 in civicrm it shows John Smith but when you export it then John Smith has the ID 54 (which really can't happen in the export). Are you sure you are exporting the Contact ID and not the External ID (or the User ID)? Maybe add some screenshots of one example to your question
