OK I admit defeat. I have spent over an hour trying to understand this and track down the problem.
Just what is the logic of the sorting in Field Manager ? I worked out it was supposed to be by tab. But I now have a sort where some of the fields are grouped by tab but not all. Some have up/down selectors, some don't. So I'm thoroughly confused and frustrated.
Oh how I wish it had the selectors and sorting capabilities of Joomla....
Any suggestions gratefully accepted....
and yes I have searched on here and even tried manually numbering great swathes of the fields to no avail.
<later>Have managed to get existing fields into some sort of order by manually numbering them all in separate ranges for each tab group - painful</later>
It's tab by tab. It gets a bit wonky when you've multiple fields with the same order, but it's still tab by tab. Best way to re-order is to manually input order numbers and use the save icon to sort them how you need them. The arrows make it rather difficult (and slow) at times. This is planned to be redone with a later release (hopefully have some form of drag and drop sorting too). If need be try using negative numbers, save, then sort again and that should correct it.
