BUG: 6.0a SR-3: Export from Library to Excel does not include Publisher

I filtered my library by type:commentary revelation and sorted by Author

I chose Print/Export and then exported to a new Excel document

The result was missing a column for Publisher.

Here's the spreadsheet that was generated:

Also, it's odd that the Author column, which I'd sorted by, was the 10th column. It bears no resemblance to the ordering I have of my columns in my Library (which is Rank, Cover Image, Type, Title, Publication Date, Author, and so on). I'd expect Author to either be the first column (because it was the column I sorted on) or to be in the order I have it in my Library, but the order actually exported seemed pretty random. Probably based on some internal data structure order which is inscrutable to users and non-changeable by users.

It also included columns that are not in Library like File Version and Metadata Version

I didn't mind that so much (as I can always deleted those columns, but I can't create a non-existent Publisher column), but yeah, that is kind of weird. It exposes internals of the data structures that a user would not be aware of and probably wouldn't care about.

This feature should be a straightforward exportation of all the columns that the user has turned on in their Library, and only those columns, preferably in the same order that the user has ordered them in their Library.
