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

Layering works in the property inspector for me. The clue is that any layer
you set moves everything above that layer one position higher. So if I want
field b to layer lower than field c, I would set b's layer to what is
currently c's layer. That would push c to one layer higher than b.

This is the essence on Livecode! This is why we love it! Shouldn’t we rebrand
it? How about Lovecode?? …..
Never mind.

Why does, as Paul suggests, changing the layer order in the Project Browser
work, whereas changing the layer order explicitly does not? We know that layers
cannot be assigned to a particular object class (like fields) but include all
controls at once. Is it possible that the layer order of the
Well, this might explain it. The original designer had grouped the labels and

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

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.

I was sloppy, as usual. Trap the message in the card, and use the target to
know where you are and where to go next.

You can change the layer (order) in the Project Browser in the IDE by
just dragging the objects up or down the list of objects on the card.

Thanks Paul. That is one of those super helpful tips that is hard to discover
on your own. 1 day we need an easily searchable wiki for all this acquired
wisdom (but for now I have tucked it away for future reference). Thanks for
replying.
