Version 2 does not allow you to reposition added fields. This is a HUGE problem. If you need a add a field you are unable to move it from the bottom. This makes auto form generation unuseable as the only option is manual layouts or deleting all fields and starting over. Frustrating.

All plugins and modules should use Joomla Update.

It now uses the Grid layout to manage positions under the Form Properties.

Honestly, this is a bad choice.

My team doesn't like this at all.

It was a pain to re-order long, multi-page forms before, not is actually worse.
It really hurts the work flow process.

Being able to renumber (standard Joomla feature) was extremely helpful.
Now being forces to drag drop one field at a time is a major pain.

This is change is nonsense. A huge step backwards.

Will make working on large complex forms a major headache. It already took hours to get it setup now this.

I totally agree. RS Joomla PLEASE consider changing this back! It is really annoying to have to constantly switch back and forth from Form Fields to Grid Layout to reorder. And drag and drop is tedious. Its OK for short forms, but not long ones. You actually added extra steps. At least add the number fields back so we can reorder that way if we choose.

Thanks

Hey guys. I asked support about this issue and they said the following:

"Actually, the new ordering is superior since you can right click on any field > click on Cut (you can do that for multiple fields and they will be added to the clipboard) and the just right click anywhere you want them to go and click on "Paste below".

Why they don't promote this info is the question. How where we to know?

I'm completely unimpressed and annoyed by the new drag and drop ordering. It's making the creation of my long form very tedious. Not to mention how I have to scroll so much more on the grid just to see all the fields. I'm a visual person and being able to see the field in its entirety while re-ordering is much more helpful. Now every time I want to re-order I have to click to a different screen, then click back to add fields. NOT efficient at all.
