Custom fields Error and Order
Most likely the custom field formulas are showing ERROR because one or more of the arguments in the formula is invalid (e.g. division by zero). You can hide them by hiding the custom field (i.e. hide the field column so it doesn't display in the view).
However, if you are referring only to those task lines where the custom field shows an ERROR, then no, you can't hide individual task field data. I suggest you either correct the error or delete the custom field formula.
As far as ordering field listing to something other than alphabetical, sorry, no can do. That is fixed by the Project GUI.
Hope this helps.

You can hide them by hiding the custom field (i.e. hide the field column so it doesn't display in the view).We do agree that since the field is calculated based on dates, in the moment of creating a new project as long as it's not yet saved Error would be displayed instead, especially through Project Desktop.
Related to your answer, we can't act on fields visibility in the project's informations screen we can display in Project Desktop?

Thank you.
Sorry, I don't understand your comment (question), "related to your answer, we can't act on fields visibility in the project's informations screen we can display in Project Desktop?"
There are tons of fields in Project, even more with enterprise versions so I can understand why you might want to have them grouped for easier/quicker access. In my view it would be nice to have all the Baseline fields separated into a collapsible group, but, I believe it is extremely unlikely that part of the Project GUI will ever be changed. However, you can make the request via the Feedback portal on the Project app.
