Yeah, the three driving forces behind Navigator originally were:
1. Speed, because the alternatives didn't run so quickly for larger
projects on hardware available circa 20 years ago.
2. Compactness, because the alternatives were pretty overwhelming on the
monitors people were using back then.
3.
Also good time to mention revNavigator where the grouping would be immediately
obvious and you can drag to reorder.

One trick to this is that objects are included into a group if
relayerGroupedControls is set to true and the layer of the control is set
to the layer above the group. Meaning that if you have this arrangement:
stack "Untitled 1"
card id 1002
| group id 1005 (1005)
| | button "Button" (1006)

Hi MarkwI did not see your later post that the fields were grouped. My
scenario was just the most basic case of fields on a card. I guess it would
work if all the fields were in 1 group but having fields in different groups
certainly complicates things. Cool solution though. I wasn’t aware

Thanks Geoff. Very interesting. That was, of course, my problem. The items were
grouped and the relayerGroupedControls property was false. Changing it to true
immediately made it possible to relayer the controls. I feel like I’ve just
been introduced to huge component of livecode that I never
Also check out the relayerGroupedControls property. It probably would have
led to even greater confusion in this instance, but it's good to know about
it and what it does. From the dictionary: "Specifies whether you can change
the layer of controls in a group even if not in group-editing mode."

You hit the nail on the head. Select grouped was not selected so each field /
label looked independent (and could be independently selected). But in fact
they were grouped. With select grouped off the fields could not be rearranged.
Turning it on enabled layering the groups (containing the
ng.

Hi.
Not sure why the tabbing order seems to be out of whack, but you can always
force the issue by trapping the tabKey message in each field, and directing it
to the next one of you own choice.

How do you reorder fields? I have a form (prebuilt) with 3 fields (a,b,c) in
positions 9, 15, 12 (as indicated by the Layer field in the Position tab).
Tabbing cause these fields to be visited in the order a, c, b whereas I would
prefer a, b, c. I have tried all manner of editing the Layer
