My own preferred approach when combining/importing databases from different formats (or, as in this case, different arrangements of fields) is to provide some option for ‘mapping’ fields from one format to the other. I don’t expect the software to be able to guess what corresponds with what.

The second option for me would be for the end result to include all custom fields, i.e. a/b/c/x/y/z, so I can then decide what to keep and adjust it manually.

Last, some Query By Example (QBE) tool could be useful for facilitating the automatic updating of fields, but I would only put this in the long term wish list.
