You can control how categories and fields appear to entrants. This helps improve clarity and flow in the entry form.

Categories

Categories display in alphanumerical order by default. To control the order, add numbers or letters before the category name.

Example:

01 Racing bikes

02 Cargo bikes

03 Mountain bikes

04 City bikes

For more details, see Category configuration.

Fields

Field order controls how questions appear in the entry form. The most common method is drag and drop in the form editor.

Good to know

Use a two digit numbering format for categories such as 01, 02, 03. This avoids unwanted ordering like 1, 10, 11, 2.
Fields can be dragged and dropped between tabs.
