Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-6456:
------------------------------------
I don't agree that sorting input fields by type is easier to interpret. From my
perspective, fields that are most relevant should appear first, followed by
fields that are less relevant, and then fields that are least relevant should
appear last. That approach allows a user to enter only relevant data, and then
skip the rest of the form.
> Make <auto-fields-entity> sort by field type by default

> 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>. I
> propose improving auto-fields-entity to sort fields by type by default such
> as text, then dates, then numbers, etc.
