Commander decks need to have the commander at the end of the text file, otherwise it imports the 99 into the sideboard.

This is currently intended behavior, but upvotes might change our mind here.

Correct, which is why I originally made this report since the client is exporting commander deck txt files in a way that they will not load back into the client, that just created said file, in a way that the client would even select the right format automatically.
Sorry, I missed the part in the OP that the client was exporting this way. I just exported a Commander deck to TXT, and it put the Commander at the bottom as expected. Re-imported it, and it imported fine as a Commander deck. Not sure where the difference lies, but since it's not affecting me, I'll bow out of this conversation. Again, sorry I misinterpreted.

I would like to try to persuade you that this is not expected behavior. I went and exported 92 of my commander decks as txt files, and of those 92 decks all but 8 of them export in the expected manner. The only obvious relation the 8 commanders in question seem to have is that they're all somewhat recent precon leads, but when 8/92 decks export incorrectly that would hopefully point towards it being a bug in the export function somewhere.
