Answers.Body: <p>You can get part of this by using the constituent summary civireport and choosing the desired columns and saving that as an instance, then using the export to csv action from the dropdown.</p>
  
  <p>But it's not a complete list of fields and you can't reorder them.</p>

Body: <p>I have a customer who is an old-aged volunteer and is not so familiar to spreadsheets but still needs to use them until the whole database is imported and I want to make the export from CiviCRM easier to use for her. </p>
  
  <p>I know this is a weird question because the first answer is: "don't use spreadsheet or at least learn how to use them" but I was wondering if there is a way / extension to help doing this: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>export to excel with the possibility of choosing and arranging columns</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any Idea?</p>

  I have a customer who is an old-aged volunteer and is not so familiar to spreadsheets but still needs to use them until the whole database is imported and I want to make the export from CiviCRM easier to use for her.
  
  I know this is a weird question because the first answer is: "don't use spreadsheet or at least learn how to use them" but I was wondering if there is a way / extension to help doing this:
  
  * export to excel with the possibility of choosing and arranging columns
  
  Any Idea?
