Order of fields in element type

Hello,

I'm trying to change the order ("place") of a field in a story type
element (or for that matter reverse it with another field), with no
success. As there seems to be no way to do it from the field's "Edit"
option, I delete my old field, create a new one and specify an already
taken position for it. I thought that this would cause all the elements
below this position to be "pushed" down, but this doesn't happen. I
guess it is because there is already a field there using the same
position in the element. I had to fix it in the database.
Is this correct or have I done something wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Michael

Are you using Bricolage 1.11? You can just drag them by their labels
to re-order them. You'll need-to re-ativate the field you deleted by
doing

UPDATE field_type
SET active = true
WHERE key_name = 'whatever';

Where "whatever" is whatever the key name of the field was.

HTH,

Daivd

Really cool! Yes, I'm using Bricolage 1.11.

Thanks, David.
