So at the moment it appears all fields are ordered alphabetically in field groups. This can be massively time consuming for large sites when it doesn't have to be.

I would like the ability to save the order of the fields so that I do not have to manually change the order of them for every section I assign the fields to.

Can I suggest being able to rearrange their order in the fields area on a page like "/admin/settings/fields/2", maybe by dragging (like you would re-order entries in a structure).

I know you guys have shot me down before, though I'm not sure if you understood what I was trying to request. If you have any questions let me know.

I also would love to see this feature.

Currently if I have a light switch, I'd like to see that come before other fields. And if I am re-using the fields on multiple sections, singles, or whatever it may be. I need to adjust the order every time vs only needing to adjust it once.

@jason yep every single project. It takes seconds to do, but it's pretty disruptive to flow.

I also think this is a good idea. For example I have a "Meta Data" group, with Meta Description & Meta Title (Alphabetical) but I always want Meta Title at the top!
