#377 PostProcessor Spreadsheet first col may be misleading

[Robert A. Morris]

In http://wiki.filteredpush.org/wiki/File:MCZ-all-2015-04-06.xls the Analysis Sheet begins with column A, labelled "Event Date". Whatever the color of the entry for Event Date, the reader's first impression is that this is, if not the only outcome, it is perhaps the most serious outcome. But this is not the case in general; e.g. Row 6 (Record Id = SCAN.occurrence.3559766) has Event Date CORRECT but the other two validators returned more serious outcomes. This leaves questions such as whether a user can assume Event Date is always presented first and learn that they need to look at further columns.

Current column order:

Proposed Column order:

ValidatorSummary, Scientific Name fields, Date/collector/collectornumber fields, locality fields, georeference fields, other fields.

Note that RecordID will be of little use to anyone other than us.
