For the most part, AX forms seem to follow the AOT layout and appear in order. However, in some cases, the form items appear in seemingly arbitrary order, and in others, the items in the AOT won’t even reorder. No matter how you drag and drop items in the AOT, they are always in the same order. This problem happened on occasion in AX 2009, but seems to be worse in AX 2012. The only way I’ve found to get around it is to drop the non-reordering items and recreate them.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? Anyone have a fix?
Ok, I’ve found that dragging and dropping only works part of the time. However, if you use ALT+the arrow keys to move items up and down in the hierarchy, that seems to work just fine.
