Order the email results from a form

I am currently getting the results of the form in the following order (alphabetical):
AdditionalInfo:
Commodity:
CompanyName:
ContactEmail:
ContactName:
DestinationZipCode:
FaxNumber:
FreightClass:
OriginZipCode:
PhoneNumber:
Pieces:
freightClassH:
freightClassL:
freightClassW:
hazmat:

I want it to be an easier to read output like the following:
CompanyName:
ContactName:
ContactEmail:
PhoneNumber:
FaxNumber:
etc.

What do I need to change in my code to accomplish that?
<form action="/gdform.php" method="post" name="ltlForm" id="ltlForm">
                  <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="test/thanks.htm">

msukow,

The change needs to be made in the PHP file.  The file that gets the form info and sends the email.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Please show us that code if you need details on what to change or how.

I have attached the code snippet - I do not know what needs to be adjusted.
<?php
    $request_method = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
    if($request_method == "GET"){
      $query_vars = $_GET;
    } elseif ($request_method == "POST"){
      $query_vars = $_POST;
    }
    reset($query_vars);
    $t = date("U");
 
    $file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/../data/gdform_" . $t;
    $fp = fopen($file,"w");
    while (list ($key, $val) = each ($query_vars)) {
     fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key START>\n");
     fputs($fp,"$val\n");
     fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key END>\n");
     if ($key == "redirect") { $landing_page = $val;}
    }
    fclose($fp);
    if ($landing_page != ""){
	header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/$landing_page");
    } else {
	header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/");
    }

Actually, I changed the names of the fields so that a number was in front of them. That way it will be correctly ordered.
That would work too.  Let me know if you need any other help with this.

I'm glad I could help with this.  Thanks for the grade, the points and the fun question.
