Changing the Order of the Fields

A simple, but useful skill to learn that you can use to change the order that fields appear on your form.

By now you're probably wondering how to change the order that fields appear on your form. By default, when you create a new field, it will appear at the bottom of your form. Often, this isn't the result you wanted to see.

Navigate to your Form Folder and click on the Contents tab. You should see a screen similar to this one:

form-contents

 

Notice that the column on the far right called Order. There are a set of up and down arrows that correspond to each field in your Form Folder. You can move the position of each field by clicking either of its arrows.

To see the results, you need to click on the View tab to see your form the way your site visitors will. Now notice that the order in which your fields are listed in Contents is the same as in View.

Note: Adapters (the ones with the green checkmarks) do not appear on the form itself. They are used to process form data. More information on that subject is at the end of this tutorial.
