Problem

I have created a schema with some fields

body type htlm
title type string
metadata type list of strings
twitter card data micro node
url type string
description type string

when I add a new field and change the order of the fields, the order of the fields changes and do no follow the order that I set when I configured the schema

Expected behaviour and actual behaviour

keep the order of the fields

@Jotschi is there an impediment fixing #721 ?

@Jotschi Any guidance?

@zoosky At first glance I think it may be possible that this is a UI-only issue. In Mesh server the schema fields are placed within a list and thus have a specific order. I would first verify whether the problem can be reproduced via REST API and if not check the UI code. Otherwise there may be an issue in the FieldMapImpl implementation in the Mesh Core. Maybe the UI is not ordering the fields according to the order of the field schemas.

@pschulzk Maybe you could take a quick glance and check whether this is the case?
