You appear to have stated that I should use the form-feature to present the data as I desire, which might well remediate this problem for me. However, does no rationale exist for being able to reorder the fields of the database? Even if this is not useful for me, I do not want to close this report unless this is confirmed to be undesirable. I am thankful for your assistance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
