Everytime I Export New Data I have to Setup the Fields to Bring into my Report

I export data a lot for my team to understand who lives on lists and within queries. Each time I am sifting through the data fields in my database to select only the fields I am interested in (which is 24 of the 300 listed). If there can be a Custom Setting or drop down that allows you to pre-select the fields and in the order you prefer this would save a lot of time.

ie. I am interested in Email, First Name, Last name, Company Name, Postal Code, Country, District Name, Office, and a couple other fields. If I could select something that brings only those fields over that would save me so much time recreating the report out.

    Thanks for the idea!

    I'd like to clarify a few items with you regarding this feedback.

    Is this for the Export list page - used for exporting database, query, contact list, etc. records and their values? Can you walk me through the exact steps you take and when you run into the problem?

    I ask now because after selecting specific columns to export from a database, it does look like the columns and their ordering are remembered by the application, so I just want to be sure a) this is still impacting your experience and b) we are focusing on the correct area of the product where you are experiencing this behavior.
