[TW5] Display order of custom fields

[StephanF]

Thanks ahead of time!

I use buttons to create several different styles of new journal tiddlers that include several custom fields. The fields are created in the order i would like them displayed when editing the resulting new tiddler, but instead they are displayed alphabetically. How can I control/modify the display order?
Here is an example

\define spfFinanceButton()
<$button tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/NewJournal/Hint}} aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/NewJournal/Caption}}> New Finance Journal
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<now "$(journalTitleTemplate)$">> tags="$(journalTags)$ jrnl_fin" text="Financial Transaction<hr>" subject="" from="" to ="" amount=0 />
</$button>
\end

when editing, the field entry area is ordered: amount, from, subject, to; rather than in the creation order (subject, from, to, amount).

I am still a newbie, so I suspect the answer will be easy and apparent once I know what it is!

 PMario wrote something that will list fields in the editor in custom order. I'll see if I can find the post about it.

Ciao Stephan,

This is the thread on custom field order in editor ...

Perhaps it will help.

PMario's solution works perfectly! Thanks so much for looking it up.

BTW, from brief testing it looks to be true that the fields listed in the reference tiddler (field-sort) can be from a variety of templates. I have not yet tried the case where a field name is created that is not listed in the reference tiddler.

Regards,
Stephan
