Control Angular Form Field Order
If you do not specify the field order when opening an Angular form in a modal, the fields will be displayed in alphabetical order. This can be very confusing, so it is good practice to add a fieldOrder parameter to the relevant HTML file:
fieldOrder="field1,field2,field3"
An example of this in action can be seen in admin-carousel.component.html:
<eg-fm-record-editor #editDialog idlClass="{{idlClass}}" [preloadLinkedValues]="true" fieldOrder="owner,name,type,age_filter,max_items,owning_lib_filter, copy_location_filter,active,id,bucket,last_refresh_time,creator, create_time,editor,edit_time" hiddenFieldsList="creator,editor,create_time,edit_time" [preSave]="mungeCarousel" (recordSaved)="postSave($event)" readonlyFields="last_refresh_time" [fieldOptions]="{bucket:{customTemplate:{template:bucketTemplate}}, copy_location_filter:{customTemplate:{template:locationTemplate}}, owning_lib_filter:{customTemplate:{template:orgTemplate}}}"> </eg-fm-record-editor>
Note that you can also make use of the hiddenFieldsList parameter for fields that do not need to show on the form.
