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 "wrench" icon to enter the form editing environment. You should see a screen similar to the one on the right.

Notice that the column on the far right called Order. You can move the position of each field by clicking and dragging each field around if you hover your mouse pointer in the Order column. Once a field is selected, it turns yellow. Continue to rearrange fields until you have the layout you want.

To see the results, you need to click on the View tab to see your form the way your site visitors will.
