 * Hello,
    First of all, thank you for this wonderful plugin, saved me a lot of 
   time!
 * However, I have a bit problem. My posts have a bunch of custom fields. eg: year,
   model, color, size, etc.
 * When I generate a single category the result is fine. But when I select more 
   categories, or category with childs, I’m getting a random order of custom fields.
 * Example:
    1st column: year. model. color. size. 2nd column: model. size. year.
   color. 3rd column: color. model. size. year.
 * Any idea what’s the problem is? I’d really appreciate any help to solve this 
   issue.
 * Thanks!
 * PS: Excuse my poor English 😉

 * Hmm, that is odd. We’ll have to take a close look at that and try and fix it 
   in the next version.
