That's why I use Lightwave - it keeps the same vertex order each time the object is saved. I can load in my generic fish, stretch the vertices until it's a triggerfish, and the list will still be in the same order, even though the points are now in wildly different locations. Other programs re-arrange everything based on polygon efficiency, the phase of the moon, or often nothing at all.
