Data in wrong columns

There does not seem to be a particular pattern of how the rows are moving over. I have included the screenshot of this issue. As you can see, some of the rows from participant 207 ended up in the wrong place. I double checked my code, and it looks fine to me. What is going on with my data?

This is code for the data. <data> /columns =[date time subject blocknum trialnum trialcode response latency] /format=tab </data> This is an example of a likert item. <likert approvcourt> /stimulusframes = [1=a] / anchors = [1 = "Strongly approve"; 2= "Somewhat approve"; 3 = "Neither approve nor disapprove"; 4= "Somewhat disapprove"; 5 = "Strongly disapprove" ] / position=(50, 70) / mouse=TRUE / anchorwidth = 30% </likert> I am using Inquisit 4 build 2444. The study runs on computers with Windows 7.
