Using ArcMap 10.3.1 I have converted a map to KML through the tool box. The KML file was created successfully. After opening it in Google Earth Pro and viewing the Layers under the Temporary Places, the main layers are labeled correctly. However some of the descriptions of the objects within the layers are not labeled the same based on the order they appear in my Attribute Table. For example: One of the description is labeled the same as the attribute in third field in my attribute table, this is what I want. In the next layer it is showing the attribute from the fourth field in my attribute table. Does anyone know how to designate what attribute is listed as the label?

I have checked the properties of my feature classes and those of my layers and everything seems to be in the correct order. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'd give this help topic a read. It explains how KML is created based on the input features:
