When you create a termbase from an excel spreadsheet using Multiterm Convert does it matter which language occupies column A and column B?

I mean, does it matter which order the 2 language columns are placed in? For example, the column order [Column A] Spanish / [Column B] English produces the same file as [Column A] English / [Column B] Spanish?

Does a different order have any effect on the termbase that is produced in terms of practical/daily usage?

Languages order does not matter, but Sep 8, 2022

In the Excel headers, better use the language names as they appear in Termbese, i.e., "English" and not "Eng" or "En". This will avoid problems.
