Ever Wished You Could Reorder Fields?
The set of form-making operations supported by FormSmarts form builder was up to now almost complete, allowing to:
- create a form
- delete a form
- edit form properties (name, title, return URL, form filling instructions, recipient email account)
- add a form input field
- delete a field
- edit field properties (name, description, field type, input widget, optional/required)
The last unsupported operation was to allow users to easily change the order in which fields appear on a form. This is often needed to:
- group fields logically
- group optional fields together at the bottom of a form
- insert a field in a existing form
- move fields around to increase the visual appeal of a form
Reordering fields manually is tedious, as it involves deleting and re-creating fields.
No more. Reordering fields is now a trivial drag & drop: in the fields tab, drag the field you want to move, and drop it in the position you want.
As usual, we welcome your comments and suggestions about this feature.

I was waiting for this for weeks (months?)… Thanks :-)
Hi,
how to reorient the sequence of fields?
Rajesh,
If you mean change the order of fields, just drag the field you would like to move, and drop it to the position you want in the form.
Posted by: can’t seem to get the drag and drop to work. The field highlights and there is a cross but the fields don’t move. Ideas?
Otherwise, am really enjoying this product.
This has never been reported before, which browser (and version number) are you using?
