Glen,

If the import feature built into the admin doesn't do what you need, 
what I normally do is use phpMyAdmin (phpmyadmin.net) to import it.  You 
can tell it the order your fields are in and the fields you'll be 
importing.  It imports from a tab delimited files.

Most ISPs provide it if you have a MySql database.
