Is there a way to set the order of the information received from a form?

I have a form set up in a table - two columns - one column has information for one user, the other has almost identical information for a friend. I have set the tabbing order so that you can tab through one column and then the other.

the problem is that when the form is sent, I receive the information from left to right.

EX.

user name=  
friend name =  
user address=  
friend address=  
user email=  
friend email=  
etc…

I would rather the information come in as

user name=  
user address=  
user email=

friend name =  
friend address=  
friend email=

etc…

Is there a way to set this order?

thanks,
