Answer / lalith

Try few of the following:
1. Make sure all the report headers, details section don't
have any formula that may have invalid expressions.
2. Try to position all the report headers and detail
elements with similar size and alignment
3. Check if you have any extra/hidden Textbox objects
within the detail section.
4. I had similar problem, and had this problem only when
the report is redered to CSV, later i found that one of the
formula i have which displays.." NO DATA FOUND" when
returns null or empty rows and this caused to misplace the
column.. Try it
Best Luck..

Check the order of the columns in report sql.
CSV will be the report sql output and not the report output.
