[mapguide-users] Change order of fields displayed in properties pane?

[Dave Wilson]

As far as the AJAX Viewer is concerned the order will still be alphabetical as far as I know. Realistically an enhancement that lets the user drag the fields in the layer editor into an order should actually build the query options with the properties in that order. When they are read from the query the order should stay the same.

That's probably and RFC.

The preview release, since two or three preview releases ago.

I don't think the join stuff can influence the order.

If you still get unsaved stuff in the preview, be sure to report it, so I can fix it before the next major release.

It does? Which version? I am currently using the stable version, which is

playing hell with the properties- if I change the display name (and save) it

sets it back on reload, and none of my changes seem to persist to the

viewer. Come to think of it, I'm using a joined layer. Is this likely to be

compounding the issue?



Thanks

Maestro supports ordering of the properties, but perhaps the viewer

sorts them afterwards.

Is it possible to specify the order in which fields are displayed in

alphabetical order, rather than the order in which they appear in the

data source. The only way I can think of getting round it at the

moment is to number all of the properties, which will look a bit

strange...



I don't know of any way to specify the sort order. The workaround we

use, rather than numbering the property names, is to insert leading

spaces in the property names. This causes them to be sorted according

to number of leading spaces, but since HTML collapses whitespace to a

single space the display still looks looks good.
