I think I found an answer to the age old problem of mangled columns
when using REPORT FORM TO FILE xxx ASCII.

In summary, the fields have to be stored in FRX in right to left
order. Here is code to do that.

I have found that this corrects report to asci issues.
What other issues do you have?

  SELECT *, ;
  	  ICASE( INLIST(ObjType,1,2,3,4,9,10), ;
	         '1'+TRANSFORM(RECNO(),'@L 999999'),;
	        INLIST(ObjType,5,6,7,8), ;
	          '2'+TRANSFORM(999999 - HPos,'@L 999999'), ;
			'3'+TRANSFORM(RECNO(),'@L 999999')) ;
				AS cOrder ;
    FROM oldreport.frx ;
    ORDER BY cOrder ;
    INTO TABLE newreport.frx ;
    WHERE platform='WINDOWS'
