Exports a feature layer to a new feature class. The user selects the fields to be exported and the order in which they will appear in the attribute table.

Inputs:

A feature layer
- Point
- Multipoint
- Polyline
- Polygon
Fields to be exported
The order in which the fields will be added to the attribute table of the new feature class.

Outputs:

A new feature class. The fields in the attribute table are permanently ordered.

How to use:

Select a layer to be exported and a location for the new feature class
A list of all the fields in the layer is presented in a list box. Using the arrow buttons move the fields to be exported to the order fields list box
Use the Up and Down buttons to arrange the fields in the order you want them to appear in the attribute table.

Running the function

ETGWPath used in the table below is the full path to ETGWRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETGeo Wizards\ETGWRun.exe")

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETGWPath, "OrderFields", "input dataset", "output dataset", "Field List"])
.NET using ETGWRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETGWPath StartInfo.Arguments = "OrderFields" "input dataset" "output dataset" "Field List"
.NET using ETGWOutX.dll	OrderFields(input dataset, output dataset, Field List)
ArcPy	arcpy.OrderFields(input dataset, output dataset, "Field List")

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
