Good.  Where do we start?  Alphabetical order seems like an obvious but
not very useful order.

How about an order based on classes of fields and importance or length
of data within them?  Start with who (subject), did what (verb) to what
(object) with what result.  Within each of those, have a standard order.
Can that go in the "Audit Event Parsing Library Specifications"?

There is also the standardization of field keywords that has already had
some action/correction.
