Bulk User Upload csv file - advice on correct sequence of fields?

Greetings Moodle community. 

I am using Moodle 3.4.5 and in the past uploaded my bulk user upload / csv file with the following fields:

username, name, surname, email, course 1, course 2, course 3, role 1

For the first time I wish to add two additional fields ( institution, department ) however, although the documentation calls these Optional User Fields I am not sure where these fields should best be added to my spreadsheet - will it be OK to add them after the role column? 

Would appreciate any advice on where best to add the additional fields to my csv file?

Many thanks,

Tracey

You can put them anywhere. Moodle gets the order from the header line. Just make sure you get the right names in the header (no spaces in 'course 1', 'course 2' for example)
