my Unique ID padding does not work

    I have an alpha prefix (GA.Returning-) and padding of 4 zeros (0000) in the properties.  But looking at the exported excel file for submissions, there is no padding.  I get (for example) GA.Returning-1 or GA.Returning-7, GA.Returning-10.  so consequently, when I 'sort' by the unique ID, excel doesn't sort in the actual order.   Everything that starts with a "1", is sorted .. ex. 1, 10,100, etc.

    After reviewing your form. I noticed that you do not have any padding in your UNIQUE ID field.
