Hello,
I am trying to insert/update GPS position of an image coming from an iStar camera. I have used this command (exiftool -csv=gps.csv -gpslatituderef=N -gpslongituderef=W -gpsaltituderef=above .) on a dataset coming from different camera and it worked well. However when trying to apply the same for the iStar dataset I am getting error message - Entries in ExifIFD were out of sequence (see screenshot attached). Please would anyone be able to advise how to fix this issue. Attached is also one of the images and the istargps csv file.
Thank you.
There are a bunch of warnings with that file. Something did a bad job of editing it.

You can try the command FAQ #20 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q20), but make sure you have backups just in case something breaks. When I ran that command on your file, it looks like no data was lost, just moved around, which is to be expected.
