    Auto-rearranging columns

    Why does access automatically rearrange column order in a query after closing and reopening? Is there a way to stop it? It doesn't affect the usefulness of my query but I set the columns up in a specific order and I'd like them to stay that way. This is an update query. I see that it is grouping them by name. Anyway to stop that witout giving each field a unique name? Screenshots attached.

    Open query in Datasheet view. Move columns to desired order. Save query.
