They appear in the order you hit the checkboxes. That gives users flexibility to have any order of result set columns rather getting restricted e.g you can never have chromosome column at any place except the very first one. Is this a feature? Is it documented somewhere obvious? I kept > wondering why my 9 header fields were appearing in different orders... Hope that helps.
