I think you can set the 5.1 in any configuration you want, not necessarily in that order.

Are the speakers connected to the correct outputs? ie is all the hardware connected properly?

Alternatively, with it being a video system, it could be connected L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs to make better sense of the pairs for swapping back to stereo etc?

Good luck.

Keep the files out of FCP arrange the channel order using QuickTime Pro and reattach the final re-arranged mix using QT pro as well. No confusion and no need to re render. I wouldn't be comfortable with fcp or picture editorial doing this task.

Might compressor be suitable for doing this?

Thanks for your help..

A.

Pro Tools 9 and earlier always exports interleaved files as L,C,R,Ls,Rs,LFE.
But in PT10 it's been changed to SMPTE standard L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs.

Not sure if this is what's going on for you or not. But it's a good thing to keep in mind.
