    For some reason, all of the fields in our submissions view are out of order (i.e., not in the order they appear in the form). Is there a way to restore the order without manually moving the fields one by one? This happened about 3 months ago and I manually reordered the fields. It was fine for a while (matched the forms) and just recently, the submission view fields are all jumbled again.

    Did you change the order of columns manually?

    Please note that if you have changed the order of columns, the only option available is to manually reorder the columns in JotForm table. Unfortunately it is currently not possible to reorder the columns automatically. I am creating a feature request ticket and escalating it to our backend team. We will get back to you as soon as we have any update from them.

    For now, I would suggest you to manually change the order of columns. The following guide should help you how to reorder columns: https://www.jotform.com/help/1012-how-to-add-and-organize-columns-in-jotform-tables

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.

    Hi Leslie,

    Thanks for using Jotform. We’re writing to let you know that we have implemented the Reset View to Default button, to revert the column names and order back to the originals. The columns created directly from the tables will be placed after the form field columns. Here's how to do it:

    • In Jotform Tables, click on the Three Dots icon in the green navigation bar next to the active tab. In the dropdown menu that opens, click on Reset View to Default.
    • Next, click on Yes, Reset and confirm resetting the table view to default. That’s it.

    Please note that this button is available only for form owners, therefore collaborators and read-only users cannot see this button.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
