"Create Table" Row Order

First, I would like to thank the support staff at ChronoEngine. This is a great forum and you have the best support that I have seen in a long time.

Most of my questions I have been able to get answered simply by searching the forum. However, I have been unable to find the solution to this problem:

I'm using the Form Wizard to create my forms. Then, in the Forms Manager, I'm using the "Create Table" function. Most of the resulting table rows are in the correct order as my form. However, they are long forms and a few of the column names get dropped to the bottom.

For example, at the top of the form, I have field names like address1, address2, city, state, zip, etc. However, the state DropDown gets dumped to the bottom of the table.

Does anyone know why it's doing this?

Thanks!

Hi Tim,

I've no real idea without digging in the code. I'd guess that when ChronoForms parses the form code it looks for the 'select' tags after the 'input' tags.

In general the order of columns (or records) in a database table is pretty irrelevant. You can get the data back in pretty much any order or sequence that you like. However you can't do that with the ChronoForms Data Viewer which is a vaery basic lister.

If you want to control the order and sequence of data lists then ChronoConnectivity is the tool for that.

Hi Bob,

Okay, thanks for the info. I'm learning slowly but surely. Mostly from reading your old posts!
