I'm pretty sure it shouldn't affect our audit tests as they typically 
just involve running a regex over the audit record without regard to 
the actual field position within the record.  Personally I'd say add 
the new field wherever you see fit - I think relying on field position 
is bad practice and we shouldn't bend over backwards trying to 
accommodate those apps which are sensitive to field position.
