I agree that lining up fields is a drag. This is a serious weakness 
in the interface.

In the field mapping dialog, with two columns of field names, from 
the source and destination files, there is a popup menu in the upper 
right. One choice is "Matching names", which will cause fields with 
identical names to be aligned. Great time and frustration saver.

But...
you have to have a source file with field names. So either use the 
ebase files directly as the source file, with no intermediate step of 
exporting data, or, export to a format with field names like Excel or 
merge.
