Cut command - Issue for getting fields

[Omesh_Vashisth/CHE/HSS]

   Hi,



   I have a file de   limited with comma(,). WHen I am issueing command as

   cut -f12,3 -d, filename      =                 ;     and           cut 
-f3,12 -d, filename

   Both the commands yeild    to same result with rows conatining fields 3 and 
12    in the same sequence of 3,12.

   Is it a bug    or implementation. I need the output in specific sequence    
which is specified in cut and not necessarily in inc   remental order.

   Thanks in advance,
