field order question

This might be a stupid question, but that's never stopped me before.
I rip a VOB file from a DVD, and make a d2v file and corresponding avs file, check the field order for de-interlacing and such, and go about my editing business. Now, if that VOB file gets erased and I have to re-rip it, will the field order always be the same if I rip the exact same chapter? Do I have to check it again? Because it's time consuming and a little annoying. I suspect it would be, but I've been wrong before.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

field order will always be the same, it's something that's decided when the dvd is made (by region, Japan uses top field first while the states/canada use bottom field first...IIRC, could've flipped it though)

thanks. I thought as much.
I recall seeing slightly more top field than bottom field in my DVDs for some reason (R1 dvds, too), though I have examples of both, so I guess the flipping happens pretty frequently. I did once have a dvd with different field orders in different chapters (in the same episode no less) so I always check in any case. But nice to know I only need to do that once!
