Take note that after importing into a blank database the very first record of the database will be blank. This is normal and the blank record may be deleted in the CemEditor. All of your data will follow.

If you would like to see the data sorted in the CemEditor in the order that it was imported you will need to select the "No Sort" option in the CemEditor
