Christian Carlow commented on OFBIZ-6456: ----------------------------------------- The patch may need to be revised again to better handle the order in which hyperlinks appear. For example, at ordermgr/control/requestitems, the custRequestItemSeqId <hyperlink> gets rendered at the end of the form/grid list but before it was the first field to appear. A workaround is to set custRequestItemSeqId as <display> and add a dedicated edit button but this would probably have to be done for various ItemSeq forms. Extending form widgets to allow overriding the default field type sequence rendering with something like field-seq attribute may be a solution. > Make <auto-fields-entity> sort by field type by default > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-6456 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6456 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: framework > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Christian Carlow > Attachments: OFBIZ-6456_2.patch > > > IMO, form widgets are generally easier to interpret when the field types are > sorted by type but this has to be done manually using <sort-order>.
