[bug-recutils] recsel --print=fnam1, fnam2, .. foo.rec |rec2csv # csv colums vary if 1st rec in foo.rec has missing fields |

This is for recutils 1.7.
Consider
recsel --print=fnam1,fnam2,fnam3... foo.rec | rec2csv
If the first record in foo.rec does not have all the fields listed in
the --print=, then the resulting csv file may have columns that are out of
order;
ie not in agreement with the --print=. Those missing fields are added at the
end,
as they are picked up in records that have them.
My workaround is to prepend a record at top of foo.rec with all fields in the
--print=,
where all the field values are empty.
Is there a better work around that does not add a bogus record?
In general, is this a bug that should be fixed?

thanks!,
