Hey guys,

in my modeladmin (SS3.1) I have many different fields: normal TextFields, UploadFields, GridFields, many_many_extraFields, DropdownFields mapped with has_one-Relations.

The problem is that my interface looks a little bit messy. First normal TextFields are displayed, than the UploadField, than the GridField, etc...
Anyway it make no difference what position the single fields have in my code.

Any idea, how I can sort the fields without using jQuery?

Hi Bereusei,

The fields are ordered in whichever order you add them to the FieldList. For example:

$fields = new FieldList();
$fieldA = new TextField('Foo', 'Foo');
$fieldB = new TextField('Bar', 'Bar');

$fields->push($fieldB);
$fields->push($fieldA);

This will result in 'Field B' being added before 'Field A'.

If you're not creating the fields yourself, and are allowing the form scaffolder to create them for you, you can re-order them with:

$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->changeFieldOrder(
    'Foo',
    'Bar'
);
return $fields;

Thanks kinglozzer. It works nice on regular fields.
Any idea how this would work on many_many_extrafields?

class ProductPage extends DataObject{

       static $many_many = array(
		'Products' => 'Product'
	);

	public static $many_many_extraFields = array(
                 'Products' => array('Position' => 'Varchar(255)')
         );
         
         public function getCMSFields(){
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

                $productFields = singleton('Product')->getCMSFields();
                $productFields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', DropdownField::create('ManyMany[Position]', 'Position on page', array("top", "bottom")));
       
		$gridfieldConfig = GridFieldConfig_RelationEditor::create();
		$gridfieldConfig->getComponentByType('GridFieldDetailForm')->setFields($productFields);

                $fields->addFieldsToTab("Root.Main", array(
        	...
        	$gridfield = GridField::create("Products", "Product", $this->Products(), $gridfieldConfig)
        ));
}

class Product extends DataObject{
...
		$fields->fieldByName("Root.Main")->push($OptionSetField);
		$fields->fieldByName("Root.Main")->push($uploadField);
		$fields->fieldByName("Root.Main")->push(ManyMany[Position]);
                $fields->fieldByName("Root.Main")->push($Title);
}

I have the bad feeling, that this doesn´t work anyway, does it?
