Field order/position
Hi all
I have attempted to change the field position in a form to move it to the
form top by using <field position="1" ..../>. When I call the form up, the
field is still in the original position - I have also tried to move the
<field/> tag physically up the list - but it is still shown in the old
position. I have also clear all caches - but no luck. What am I not doing
or doing wrong?

It's mostly used for grouping fields, but you can also use <sort-order>, to
re-order. There are plenty of examples OOTB

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response - I have moved it right to the top in the
form def - but it still appears in the original position.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
position on a field is for displaying fields on a same line. If you want
your field at the top of your form, you just have to write it first in
your form definition.
Another thing, when dealing with XML forms/screens/etc..., there is
generally no need to restart or clear cache.
Cheers,

Hi,
position on a field is for displaying fields on a same line. If you want
your field at the top of your form, you just have to write it first in
your form definition.
Another thing, when dealing with XML forms/screens/etc..., there is
generally no need to restart or clear cache.
