the simplest solution is to use the form for adding a new item.

00:00:07

The display order of the fields in the form depends on

00:00:09

the order in which the columns of your list were created.

00:00:14

In this case,

00:00:15

I want to reorganize the columns of my list.

00:00:18

I simply perform a drag and drop to position

00:00:20

the column or columns in the desired place.

00:00:24

Note that while the column display order is indeed modified on the list side,

00:00:29

this does not affect the input form,

00:00:31

which remains organized according to the order

00:00:34

in which the columns were originally created.

00:00:36

In my case,

00:00:37

I also want to reorganize the fields to be entered in the form.

00:00:41

To do this,

00:00:42

once in the form,

00:00:42

I use the icon at the top right.

00:00:44

Then from the drop down menu,

00:00:46

I select dit columns.

00:00:49

From the pane that appears,

00:00:50

I can manually rearrange the column order in the form

00:00:54

to match that of the list.

00:00:55

The simplest method is to use drag and drop.

00:00:59

Additionally,

00:01:00

I choose to hide the response date field from my form.

00:01:03

This field is configured to be auto-filled with the

00:01:06

current date when a new item is created,

00:01:08

making it unnecessary to display it for input.

00:01:11

I then save the changes and confirm that everything has been updated.
