Strange, I never had a problem with SCATTER and GATHER construction (when I used it).
I even tested it with the different field order:

CREATE CURSOR crsTest1 (Fld1 I, Fld2 D, Fld3 C(20))

CREATE CURSOR crsTest2 (Fld2 D, Fld3 C(20), Fld1 I, Fld4 T)
FOR asd = 1 TO 20
    INSERT INTO   crsTest2 VALUES (DATE()+asd, REPLICATE([A],asd),asd, DATETIME()+asd)
NEXT
SCAN
   SCATTER NAME oTest
   SELECT crsTest1
   APPEND BLANK
   GATHER NAME oTest
   SELECT crsTest2
ENDSCAN
SELECT crsTest1
