export alignment with heirarchial grid

[MBEN]

I have a parent child heirarchial grid but I am having issues when I export the grid.

The master records don't start from the first column and seems to be in the end.
I would like the parent records to start from column A and the child records to be indented inside.

Attached is a screenshot and my grid code:
