Replace Form Sort Order with Drag and Drop

Currently, managing the order of forms on the device using numeric values is a little tedious. First, I have to type in the sort order, save it, open the app, sync, view it. If it's wrong.... repeat the process.

It would be really useful if the new Form Builder had a WYSIWYG tool to help us manage the sort order using a drag and drop function.

  It would also be nice to have different users be able to sort the forms themselves. I have many forms assigned to my users but different users use different forms with different frequencies.

  Hi Joe, are you talking about on the device you'd like custom sorting of the forms on the home screen? Want to make sure I understand the request clearly.

  Adam, I know this post is a couple years old but I'm curious if you're still having challenges with ordering elements in the form.

  If I understood Adams original post correctly, he and I are referring to similar issues, both pertaining to the sorting of forms as displayed on the device in the apps main screen. I share the frustration Adam has with having to sort the forms by setting their sort order, as it feels tedious and requires keeping track of all of your sort values with some external tool or notepad. I'd also like the user to be able to sort their forms as they see fit, as some of my users need to use some forms more than others but it is not consistent across my user base.
