JSON Display Name Order

Hi there,

 

I have used the example JSON code available in the Microsoft help article linked below to successfully create sections for columns within a SharePoint Online list.  However, as my list has grown I've noticed that the order in which I wish to display the columns have developed a mind of their own, despite appearing in the correct section. 

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/list-form-configuration

 

Is there anyone out there that can assist with an example of how to apply some order to the field columns from the Microsoft example?

 

I've also added this as a suggestion to the Microsoft Docs GitHub page.

 

Many thanks in advance,

Luke

  • Luke Robertson As per the Microsoft documentation:

    1. A column not referenced in any of the sections will be automatically referenced in the last section.
    2. Newly added columns will be automatically referenced in the last section

    So, if you have added any new columns in your list, you have to modify the JSON and set the section for these columns.
